Reminiscent of the traditional Italian dumplings, these better-for-you bites ditch the gluten in favor of tapioca flour and cauliflower. Soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, they get their satisfying texture from being boiled before they’re pan-fried to golden perfection. Using a blend of olive oil and coconut oil, each pasta piece is infused with smooth, buttery flavor. Enjoy these little nuggets of plant-based goodness in a soup or serve them with your favorite pasta sauce.
