I got some leftover gnocchi in my fridge from the previous recipe. I would like to cook it in a simple way. So I think about the combination of gnocchi with another food stuff. So I decide to cook gnocchi with eggs! I think it is quite interesting. I'm not using dull eggs to wrap the gnocchi. To have some fun tasty eggs, I use some herbs to enlighten it's taste and smell.
