Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bread crumbs — Ensure that the bread crumbs are finely ground for a smoother texture in the gnocchi.
  • Vegetable broth — Use a high-quality vegetable broth or prepare your own for the best flavor in the dish.
  • Fresh parsley — Chop the parsley just before garnishing to retain its vibrant color and fresh taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • To add a burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the gnocchi before serving.
  • For a heartier version, you can add cooked vegetables such as peas or spinach to the broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the simmering broth.

Serve the Homemade Bread Gnocchi in Broth as a main course accompanied by crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful broth. It pairs well with a fresh green salad on the side.
