Pretty much the entire world calls these little dumplings gnocchi. Except for my family, Big Grandma called these cuyetta. I'm starting to believe it might have been a regional thing to call them cuyetta, there is one other person on the internet whose family also calls these cuyetta. His Italian grandfather was from a small village in the Alps in the Piedmont region of Italy. Big Grandma's parents are both from a village about 25 miles south of that one. I don't believe this is a coincidence.
These babies are resting before I toss them in some knock off olive garden chucken gnocchi soup.
