  I made this last night and it was really tasty. I added some bacon when I was frying the garlic. It was really saucy aswell. Very nice!

  This recipe is absolutely delicious. I added some tomato puree to the sauce which enhanced the flavour, together with a little black pepper. As I am vegetarian, I fried up some pancetta seperately and sprinkled it over my husbands, which he thought really made the dish. I will definitely make this again, and would highly recommend it. Really yummy!

  I also added quite a bit of black pepper and the basil as suggested. It was lovely with a strong cheddar grated over the top (no parmesan as I am a veggie and vegetarian parmesan isn't very widely available).

  It was a bit watery so I think I'll cook the spinach with the tomatoes, garlic and mascarpone next time, still tasted good though!

  Enjoyed this recipe for a quick and tasty midweek meal. Thinking it might be a bit bland, and following previous comments, I added two bacon rashers when frying the garlic, and also some mushrooms as I had some to use up (don't think they added anything special, but did help cut down my food waste). I also stirred the spinach through the sauce to wilt rather than with the gnocchi and used low-fat soft cheese instead of marscapone. So not quite the original recipe, but tasty all the same!

  Yum! This was absolutely delish and such a simple dish to make! I added some cubed smoked bacon which went really well with the other flavours. Will be making again tonight as it's ideal for feeding a big group of people, a firm favourite in our house from now on!

  Made this last night and it was really lovely. I added some tomato puree too which helped with the flavours. Quick, easy, cheap and a big hit with the family. Will definitely make again.

  Very tasty indeed - I also added the pancetta cubes and I felt that this improved the dish a lot. Without it, it really wouldn't be as nice.
