Observations

How long can I store pea gnocchi?
A couple of days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Can I freeze pea gnocchi?
Yes. Place in the freezer directly on the tray and once the gnocchi are hard transfer them to the freezer bags. Remember to cook them in boiling water while still frozen.

Can I use fresh peas?
Sure. If it is pea season you can use them fresh to make vegan gnocchi.

How big should pea gnocchi be?
The size of the gnocchi depends on taste. We don't recommend making them too big otherwise the middle part may remain raw after cooking.

How to season pea gnocchi?
You can choose the sauce you like best; they go well with any kind of seasoning. Try a mushroom sauce, a fresh tomato sauce or butter and sage.

When to add flour to make pea gnocchi?
We recommend that you let the pea puree cool completely before incorporating the flour.
