Pasta De Cecco 100% Italian Chicche di patate noodles 500g potato paste Chicche is a tasty alternative to the classic gnocchi, a typical, traditional Italian dish. They were made from the original recipe that combined selected potatoes and soft flour, but the difference is that they only cook for 2 minutes. Their small, round shape combined with the soft consistency of their dough makes them ideal for delicate spices such as shrimp and zucchini or vegetable sauces, but also for ones with a clearer taste such as seafood sauces.
