What You Should Know

You'd spot this Gnocchi alla Sorrentina in the refrigerated prepared meals or chilled pasta section of a grocery store — an easy grab for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal. It feels comforting and a bit nostalgic (tomato sauce and melted mozzarella), with pillowy gnocchi and a simple ingredient list; the product is processed and ready-to-heat but uses recognizable foods rather than industrial formulations. The presence of cooked gnocchi, pasteurized cheese, added salt and sugar points to processed preparation and convenience rather than ultra-processed additives or flavoring systems.
