Form 2 cm thick cylinders from the dough, cut them into pieces, press a little and place one grape onto each pillow, roll and shape into gnocchi.

    How unusual! They look amazing. I don’t think I have the dexterity to make gnocchi as pretty as those.

    At No. 9 Park in Boston, Barbara Lynch stuffs her gnocchi with prunes (and serves it with a foie gras sauce). It’s probably the best dish at any restaurant in Boston.

    Wow, this is a fabulous twist to the old gnocchi. I have been using grapes in breads and with sausages,so i welcome your dish as I can now experiment with gnocchi as well.

    this is a great idea!i bet this could easily become a dessert by making a different sauce. very inventive and adaptable.

    I love finding unusual takes on classics. Gnocchi is great on its own, but I’m dying to try it with grapes stuffed inside! I’ll definitely return to this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it; you have a beautiful blog.

    I’m so impressed! I can’t make even normal gnocchi very well, so this is amazing to me!!

  • Natasha October 19, 2008 4:36 pm

    Hm, an unusual idea, but yummy, I’m sure! They look like a savory version of plum dumplings!
