Cooking Tips and Tricks
- To enhance the flavor of the gnocchi, try adding some fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mixture before baking.
- If you’re looking to add some extra protein to this dish, consider incorporating cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu when serving.
- For a fun twist, try shaping the gnocchi into different shapes, like hearts or stars, using a small cookie cutter.
Photography Tips
When photographing your gnocchi, try capturing them at a 45-degree angle to show off their texture and shape. Natural light is best for food photography, but if you’re shooting at night, consider using a ring light or softbox to illuminate your dish.
