Overview
De Cecco's potato gnocchi are made with 80 percent mashed potato and soft wheat flour, pressed through a bronze die for a ridged, oval shape that holds sauce. The 17.6 ounce pack from Italy's De Cecco brand cooks in about 2 minutes and suits home cooks who want a quick weeknight pasta with a traditional shape.
De Cecco has made pasta since 1886, and this gnocchi follows the same bronze-die tradition the brand uses for its dried pasta, which is what gives the ridges their grip on sauce. It is a shelf-stable dried product rather than fresh refrigerated gnocchi, so texture runs firmer than what you would get from a fresh-pasta counter. Kosher certification and a fairly short ingredient list are the main label claims worth noting.
- 80% mashed potato, soft wheat flour
- Bronze-die oval, ridged shape
- Kosher and non-GMO
- 17.6 oz pack, made in Italy
Who it's for
Cooks who want a fast, pantry-stable Italian gnocchi rather than a fresh refrigerated version. Also fits anyone avoiding trans fat, added sugar or GMO ingredients, since the label rules those out. Not the choice for someone chasing an ultra-light, egg-based gnocchi texture.
Pros and cons
- Cooks in about 2 minutes
- Bronze-die texture grips sauce
- Kosher, non-GMO, no added sugar
- Dried, not fresh gnocchi texture
Performance notes
The bronze-die extrusion roughens the surface of each piece, which is what lets sauce cling instead of sliding off, a texture difference from smooth Teflon-extruded pasta. Because the dumplings are dried rather than fresh, cooking is fast: dropped into boiling salted water, they are done as soon as they float, in around 2 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How long does De Cecco potato gnocchi take to cook?
About 2 minutes in salted boiling water, or as soon as the pieces float to the top.
Is De Cecco Gnocchi No.401 gluten-free?
No, it is made with soft wheat flour along with potato, so it contains gluten.
What gives this gnocchi its ridged texture?
It is extruded through a bronze die, the same traditional method De Cecco uses for its dried pasta, which roughens the surface so sauce clings better.
