    Italian tradition meets plant-based protein

    Sorry, fellow Italians—but these chickpea gnocchi are simply too good! Chickpeas, flour, and cornstarch create a protein-rich dough that's then shaped into delicious mini dumplings. The best part: These gnocchi are gluten-free and packed with plant-based protein. They're marked with the classic fork-shaped pattern and boiled in salted water until they float to the top—that's how you know they're perfect. Serve with any sauce of your choice, but pesto rosso is especially good. These gnocchi prove that innovation in the kitchen sometimes brings the best surprises. Who would have thought that legumes could be so versatile? A recipe for anyone who likes to experiment and wants to eat healthily! 🍝
