Gnocchi with Gravy
Gravy gives gnocchi the comfort of potatoes with a generous sauce. Its appeal can be peppery and creamy, dark and meaty, or full of vegetables, depending on the dish.
White gravy has its own character
Sausage gravy is creamy and savory, with little pieces of seasoned pork throughout. Against soft potato gnocchi, it feels closer to a breakfast plate than a tomato-sauce dinner. Pot-pie filling shares that soft, creamy texture but adds chicken and vegetables.
Dark gravy loves a crisp surface
Browned gnocchi with turkey gravy and cheese curds have a poutine-style contrast of crisp edges and soft centers. A reduced beef sauce gives a deeper meat flavor, while a baked gnocchi topping leaves some potato exposed above the gravy. These dishes are as much about texture as sauce.
