FAQ ❓

Can feta be replaced?

You can replace feta with another cheese, such as a flavored spreadable cheese like Boursin! In that case, adjust the seasonings!
Yes, no problem. Just remember to mash and mix the sauce with silicone utensils to avoid scratching the bottom of the basket. Be careful, as the basket will be hot: don't forget to place a trivet on your table to protect it.
You can use any herbs you like!
You can replace them with pasta, but you'll need to cook it separately. This recipe is convenient because everything cooks together, so there's no need to keep an eye on it!

Eugh that was a waste of perfectly good bag of gnocchi. It might have been better to bake the gnocchi on their own first, get them crispy and delicious on the outside, then add the other ingredients. The result was just uncooked floury disgusting gnocchi swimming in tomato. Eugghhh. The crumbly feta added to this added to the unpleasant overall texture.

Response Petitchef:

Thanks for your feedback! For a crispier gnocchi, you can definitely try airfrying them alone first, then adding the tomatoes and feta. It’s all about finding the texture you love. Hope your next try turns out perfect!
