Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the creamy, flavoursome sauce, though some found it overly salty or rich. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though some struggled with frying the gnocchi as it stuck to the pan.
  • Suggestions: Try boiling the gnocchi instead of frying, or use an air fryer for crispy results. Add bacon or chicken for extra flavour.
  • Leftovers: Several enjoyed it reheated the next day, with some finding the flavours even better.
  • Portions: While many found it filling, some wanted larger serves or added extra vegetables for more bulk.
