Kids’ plate: Buttery gnocchi bites
On the plate: Soft gnocchi with a little melted butter for dipping, no sage.
Make it a game: Pretend each gnocchi is a little boat paddling into the butter dip harbour.
Set it aside at step 5, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
