I couldn't believe how easy this was, & hubs couldn't believe that I made it! Always wanted to try making homemade gnocci but used this recipe cuz I had some ricotta to use up. These cooked up quickly, were light, fluffy & tasted great. I didn't use the sauce cuz hubs makes his own so we always have it on hand. I also made a sage brown butter sauce which I preferred because it allowed the gnocci to be the star. Can't wait to impress somebody else with these!

This is the second time I've made gnocchi. I made some minor adaptations but for the most part, I followed the recipe exactly. I would say this recipe is good, but not anything particularly great or special. Everyone liked it, but they didn't love it. As many other people have said, the sauce doesn't have very much flavor... we couldn't even taste the garlic.

I made this with jarred sauce that I doctored up to have the flavors of this one (and the cheese). We thought the gnocchi came out really well, tender and flavorful, if maybe a touch on the salty side, but that has to do with the cheese you use too and mine might've been salty. These are very simple to do and seem impressive when they're really not that difficult or time-consuming to do. Thanks for sharing!

I had some ricotta to use up and thought I would try this recipe. I have made gnocchi many times but never with ricotta. Ususally just eggs, my mom taught me this way. So I tried it and I must say I personally did not like them but my DH did. I found them difficult to make and tastreless . 4 stars only because DH liked them and he is not a pasta fan.

Reminded me of gnocchi frm my fave Italian Restaurant, and it was soooo easy. I omitted the garlic, used black pepper to taste...and I probably doubled the flour...im not sure how much I used bc I just kept adding until I could form a dough. I made ropes, and cut off little pieces with the side of my fork. I boiled for abt 5 to 6 minutes, an added jarred sauce( i know i know!!) but I have no time to make my own sauce. It was still delicious with some parm sprinkled on top

I made only the gnocchi and served it in a sage pesto along with roast chicken and sauteed broccoli. A home run, for sure. The only change was to use a clove of fresh garlic, pressed, in place of the garlic powder. I did drain the ricotta overnight as suggested by another reviewer, but very little whey came out, so I don't know that it made much difference.

I made the gnocchi and used my own meat sauce. I wouldn't change a thing. They were little pillows of melt in your mouth goodness.

It seems it's been awhile since I've found a recipe that really got me excited... this was SO quick and easy, I was trying to come up with a backup plan in case the gnocchi didn't work... but I didn't need to. This recipe delivered. The gnocchi came together in about 5 minutes or less. My tip would be to check the gnocchi after it floats, as mine needed another minute or two to cook. Also, make sure you use a good quality garlic powder or the flavor may be too harsh for these delicate puffs. --The sauce was simple and flavorful; I added some leftover mushrooms and onions I had sauteed yesterday. I LOVED the fresh mozzarella in this!! I have a log of it to use up, so I was excited to try it in this dish... so pretty and gooey and yummy! I cannot say enough good things about this dish :)
