A very simple dish typical of the mountain culinary tradition, these dumplings are prepared by kneading just flour, eggs and milk. Subsequently, using a spoon, “un gnoc” is formed one at a time from the dough which, when dropped into boiling water, takes on irregular shapes. Once cooked, they are seasoned with plenty of butter, sage and cheese. For some years now in the village, the Pro Loco and the Lampiusa Folklore Group have brought this ancient dish back into the spotlight, immediately enjoying great public success, attracting enthusiasts from all over the province to Parre.

To prepare them:
In a saucepan, place flour, add the egg and milk. Mix until you reach a dough that is neither too liquid nor too dense (it should resemble a glue), if necessary, add more milk or flour. Meanwhile, boil water, add salt, when the water boils, add the potatoes cut into pieces (not too large or too small), as soon as it boils again, take a spoon and place the gnocchi until you finish the dough. (occasionally mix everything). Once cooked (about 10 minutes over low heat), carefully remove them from the water with a skimmer.
