This recipe was a disaster. The gnocchi was gummy and the garlic sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The gnocchi was a bit bland and the garlic sauce was not very flavorful. I think I would have liked it better with a different type of gnocchi, such as potato gnocchi.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The gnocchi was good, but the garlic sauce was a bit too heavy. I think I would have liked it better with a lighter sauce, such as a tomato sauce.
