Question of the Day
Do gnocchi provide any culinary benefit other than being a substrate for whatever sauce you use?
I thought not.

Substitute "texture" for "substrate" and you will be a bit less like an engineer and more like an Emerson. It is all about the sauce though.

Well, that's all most pasta is, the unfilled stuff at least. I'll take gnocci over spagetti anyday.

gnocci is known as a rib-sticker/filler - for no other reason than to fill a belly with what little you have. My grandmother excelled at gnocci at Thanksgiving...along with the spaghetti, ravioli, roast beef, vegetables, Watergate salad, carrot and jello salad, and 7-Up cake.
What empty spots she though we needed to fill, I have no idea...but there was always a twinkle in her eye when she began the meal with "Im sorry if I didnt fix enough for everyone..."
Must be an Italian thing! LOL
Love gnocci - I have a feeling you don't ask 'why' of gnocci - you just eat it. Mangia!

Gnocchi also, BTW, makes excellent baby food.
