Zucchini Gnocchi
Zucchini gnocchi have a mild flavor and green flecks running through the dough. They sit at the gentler end of vegetable gnocchi, far from the sweetness of squash or the earthiness of beets.
More than a summer topping
Zucchini is part of these dumplings, not simply a vegetable scattered around them. It can join potato in a soft dough or form a potato-free mixture with cheese and flour. The name covers both approaches.
Delicate flavor, different finishes
Herb pesto and garlic butter keep the zucchini flavor easy to notice. A crisp, browned version with tomato sauce has a more robust character. Zucchini contributes moisture as well as flavor, which is why its dough has a different balance from plain potato gnocchi.
