Gnocchi, those supreme Italian dumplings, reward patience and precision when made from scratch. In this recipe, you’ll need both: The addition of beet purée (for colour and subtle earthy flavour) makes the dough more delicate.

Note from Ricardo

Beet purée makes the dough softer than traditional gnocchi dough. Skip the usual step of rolling the gnocchi with a fork as the process might crush it.
