- 400 g Gnocchi

Quick, easy and super tasty! Added frozen peas and should try a handful of spinach next time! First recipe I’ve tried and will definitely try out some others!
Loved this so much first time making again tonight. Husband not a big gnocchi fan but he enjoyed this.
Love this. Made it for dinner and the family loved it. Made no changes to the recipe except to add a little black pepper and chili for spice.
Had this for dinner last night
loved the sauce, not so keen on the Gnocchi, think it’s a texture thing!!! I will do the sauce again but with pasta instead
