    not bad at all. I would put fresh chilli in the sauce to give it a bit more depth but other thatn that, lovely. There's lots of sauce too so maybe have it with some garlic bread to mop up!

    This dish was one of the easiest Iv made. I stuck to the recipe and instructions and wish I had put in some bacon like others have said. The first 2 bites were nice but other than that it wasn't very tasty. It was far too bland, the dogs enjoyed it though. But if you don't try, you wont know :)

    Really quick and easy - great mid week supper. I served for unexpected guests and added some bacon as suggested - it was delicious and guest asked for the recipe.

    Great, easy dish to make. I used Philadelphia instead of marscarpone as I didn't have any. I also put it in a glass dish, grated some cheddar over the top and put it in the oven until the cheese was golden, delicious!

    Don't boil gnocchi - shallow fry it, yum!

    Made this recipe for me and partner, and neither of us had tried gnocchi before, and I have to say we both love this dish.... the sauce is just delicious.... i took on board other comments and added some smoked bacon to the dish, and wilted the spinach with the sauce, and we both really enjoyed it....I have since made the sauce again..without the smoked bacon and had it with chicken and pasta, and it was just as nice..this is now a firm favourite and one I will be making again and again...

    Really simple, quick & tasty! I added bacon like a couple of other people which worked out very well. If you're making it for 4 people I'd recommend adding a side like garlic bread to bulk the meal out a bit!

    Great dish! Fried bacon pieces separately, until crisp, then added them in with the spinach. Gorgeous.....I'm not the only one to come up with this :-)
