These gnocchi were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make them again.

These gnocchi were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I loved these gnocchi. The ricotta cheese really mellowed out the flavor of the spinach and the gnocchi were so light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these gnocchi turned out terrible. They were dense and gummy, and the sauce was bland and watery. I'm not sure if I'll ever try this recipe again.

These gnocchi were a disaster! They were too dense and doughy, and the sauce was way too salty. I ended up throwing them out.
