THE NAME
The word gnocco (dumpling) perhaps derives from the Venetian word gnoco, that is probably derived from the Lombard word knohha, knucle, the finger joints, but also a knot in a tree. With the term gnocco today is applied to many formats, some of which are very different from each other but all deriving from the original shape of an irregular piece of dough which was torn away from the lump, rolled by hand, and then pulled using the fingers.
