Is gnocchi a main dish?

[Sneaky2021]

Hey everyone! This topic crossed my mind. Is a gnocchi considered a main dish? I'm not sure if this is right to be called as a meal. What's your thought on this? I wonder if the way how it's prepared makes an impact on it. I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Heck yeah, gnocchi can be a main course! Just depends how you fix 'em up ..Think small gnocchi with light sauce for a side, or bigger ones in a creamy sauce for a full-on meal ..They're so versatile!

Hey! Gnocchi can be considered a main dish! Whether it's served with a rich tomato sauce, creamy pesto, or a hearty meat ragu, gnocchi is often the star of the meal. The preparation can indeed impact its classification; lighter preparations might serve as a primo (first course) in Italian cuisine, while more substantial sauces and accompaniments can turn gnocchi into a satisfying main dish.
