When you want dumplings but don’t want a heavy meal like chicken and dumplings, you want gnocchi, aka football-shaped Italian potato dumplings you serve like pasta. For this pasta recipe, toss homemade gnocchi with ham and a dairy-free (but still creamy!) sauce. Like any pasta, it’s also delish topped with tomato sauce or pesto.
