A little to vinegary for my taste.

I was really disapointed with this recipe. It wasn't that flavorful and it called for way too much butter. I will not cook it again.

Very Good. I was looking for some gnocchi receipes and glad I stompled onto this recipe. I added sliced sausage to the recipe to make it into a meal and my family loved it.
