Gnocchi are a popular and simple food. They were probably created thanks to the cooks’ talent in the past to recuperate the leftovers and substantiate the lack of pasta. During the XVII century some Italian and French gourmets began to realize some recipes that highlighted the cooking versatility of potatoes, making them popular gastronomic food. Their typical shape comes from the grater, on the back of which the amalgam was slid, with a little pressure from the hand.
