Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, ground beef, onion, olive oil, tomato sauce, and grated cheese are widely available in the dairy, produce, meat, and international sections of most supermarkets. Beef bouillon cubes can often be found in the soup or international aisles. For authentic Brazilian flavors, consider visiting Latin or specialty import markets where you might find a wider variety of seasonings or specific types of cheese.

- Repeat the process until all the dough is cooked
- Drain the gnocchi well and set aside in a baking dish
