Gnocchi, or nocchio in Italian, are small dumplings typically made from potato, flour and sometimes egg. The dough is rolled into small pieces and may be pressed with a fork to create ridges, which helps sauce cling to it. In this recipe, sautéing the gnocchi gives them excellent flavor and a crispy exterior.
Kielbasa, a type of Polish sausage, brings a smoky, savory element to the dish that compliments the dish’s creaminess and pairs well with the gnocchi and cabbage.
