Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina

Up for a very quick Italian meal?
I grabbed a couple packages of Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina with Tomato Sauce & Mozzarella Cheese at Trader Joe's today and it indeed saved me a lot of time and money. It's yummy too!

Gnocchi is made from dehydrated potatoes and wheat starch.

1 package is 1 lb. (only $2.99) and serves 3. But I bought a couple and 3 of us ate it all. I just add a couple tbsp of water and stir gently for 7 minutes on stove. Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Definitely worth a try.
