Gather the Ingredients
Before you begin the cooking process, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. To cook frozen canederli, you’ll need:
- Frozen canederli
- Water or vegetable stock
Boil the Water or Vegetable Stock
Fill a pot with water or vegetable stock and bring it to a boil. The amount of water or stock needed depends on the quantity of frozen canederli you are planning to cook. As a general rule, you should have enough liquid to cover the dumplings completely.
Add the Frozen Canederli
Carefully drop the frozen canederli into the boiling water or stock. Be gentle to avoid any splashing or breaking of the dumplings. It’s recommended to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Cook Until Heated Through
Allow the frozen canederli to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are heated through. As they cook, the dumplings will float to the surface.
Remove and Serve
Using a slotted spoon or a strainer, remove the cooked canederli from the pot and transfer them to a serving dish. You can serve them as they are or with your favorite sauce. Canederli pairs well with mushroom sauce, cheese sauce, or simply melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
