Gnocchi alla Sorrentina

Whenever I go into Whole Foods, I love walking down the frozen food aisle because you never know what you will find. This time I stumbled on some frozen gnocchi alla Sorrentina (also known as gnocchi in a marina sauce with mozzarella). Gnocchi is like a pasta pillow and is not all that common. It has somewhat of a potatoey taste to it, which I know sounds really odd. This one from Whole Foods was perfect because you could make it in the microwave. The marina sauce had a good flavor to it and even though it was frozen, there was a bit of freshness to it. Like most frozen pasta dishes, the mozzarella was a little scarce and seemed to end up on the side of the container. It would be nice if they would have added a bit more, but you can always add in your own. Pair this with a salad and you have a simple and easy, but flavor dinner. This is a great way to mix up the usual pasta night and have something a little unusual. And who doesn't love a meal that you can throw together in minutes. So pick up a package the next time you find yourself on the frozen food aisle in Whole Foods.
