Gnocchi with Arugula, Morels, and Taleggio is a classic Italian dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. Gnocchi is a type of pasta that is made with potato, flour, and eggs, and is shaped like small dumplings.

This is a perfect recipe for a cozy night in or as a sophisticated dinner party dish to impress your guests.
