Lustucru Sélection Gnocchi à poêler

Lustucru Sélection Gnocchi à poêler are fresh gnocchi designed to be browned in a pan rather than boiled. The brand launched them in 2004 and they became its best-known product. The range includes plain gnocchi in several pack sizes, "Extra" gnocchi filled with cheese (camembert, raclette, goat's cheese and bacon, cheddar and bacon, tomato and mozzarella, ham and cheese), and other formats such as Gnocchi Roll, Gnocchi Star and Gnocchini.

According to the official site, the plain gnocchi are made from a potato purée (water, dehydrated potato, turmeric), wheat semolina, rapeseed or sunflower oil, salt and wheat flour. To cook them, the maker suggests frying them in a spoonful of oil or butter over high heat for 2 minutes, then covering and cooking gently so they stay soft inside; the filled versions take about 5 minutes. They are made by Lustucru Frais in the Lyon area.

Pan-fried gnocchi are a quick side dish or main course. The range belongs to gnocchi and spaetzle and to fresh pasta.
