Chicche di patate
They are little gnocchi, so I suppose gnocchetti could be used, but the company already sells Gnocchi and I haven't been able to find any translations of such products on the market.

In fact, I wouldn't use "chicche" as that isn't a real pasta name, it's sort of a local name we use in Italy for small gnocchi...
| Yes, sorry I didn't express that very well - I suggested they used the word Gnocchi in English, but some pasta names are translated, such as pasta bows (farfalle) etc. As Chicche is unpronounceable and/or unspellable for Anglophones, does that mean it would benefit from translation in the same way? |
| agree |
