The dough is typically rolled into a rope, cut into small pieces and then shaped, often with the tines of a fork, to create ridges that can hold the sauce. Gnocchi is a versatile dish and can be seasoned with various sauces, such as tomato sauce, pesto, brown butter and sage, or creamy sauces. It is a popular food in Italian cuisine and is enjoyed in many parts of the world.
