This recipe was a disaster! The gnocchi was dense and rubbery, and the sauce was bland and watery.

I found this recipe to be too time-consuming. I ended up using store-bought gnocchi, which made the dish much easier to prepare.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to the sauce, and it turned out much better.
