Nanna's Gnocchi image

My nanna was from Italy, I loved it when she made gnocchi. It is a very time consuming process, but well worth the effort! The recipe can be varied with the addition of other ingredients (spinach, pumpkin, mushroom, herbs...) just let your imagination run wild! Serve with any sauce that tickles your fancy & lots of parmesan!!!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these gnocchi were a complete disaster. They were inedible.

These gnocchi were a disappointment. They were dry and tasteless.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The gnocchi were too dense and the sauce was too salty.

I thought these gnocchi were just okay. They were a bit bland and the sauce was too thin.

I've made these gnocchi twice now and they've been a hit both times. They're so easy to make and they always come out perfectly. The sauce is also very flavorful and versatile - I've used it with both red and white meats.

These gnocchi were absolutely delicious! The texture was perfect - light and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. The sauce was also very tasty, with a great balance of flavors. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
