What You Should Know

Found in the refrigerated prepared-meals or fresh pasta aisle, this 16 oz Gnocchi alla Sorrentina is the kind of quick weeknight dinner you grab for a cozy, comforting meal. It reads nostalgic and homey—pillowy gnocchi in tomato sauce with melted mozzarella—and the ready-to-heat format indicates some processing for texture and convenience even though the ingredient list is mostly recognizable whole foods.
