- The leftovers keep well in the refrigerator up to 4-days. They may also be frozen in lidded freezer proof containers or mason jars around 4months. Don’t forget to thaw out from the refrigerator the night before to reheating.
- For the recipe to beWFPB and Plantricious compliant omit all oil and be certain that you use an entire grain gnocchi made with whole wheat, rice flour or brown rice.
