What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the frozen aisle at Whole Foods — a grab-and-heat Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend treat. It reads indulgent and comforting, with pillowy gnocchi and a rich, creamy cheese vibe that feels nostalgic and satisfying. The ingredient list is mostly recognizable cheeses, milk, butter and pasta, and the frozen prepared format signals processing for convenience and a consistent creamy texture rather than heavy use of industrial additives.
