  A great receipe - even the kids ate it all (6 and 3). As I had a 500g bag of Gnocchi I doubled up the ingredients and this was perfect portion sizes for two adults and two little ones. However, I only put in 320g of veg. I put in Tenderstem Broccoli and Green Beans. Sainsbury's do 160g combo packs of these - bought 2 packs. Worked well. Also, I had a 60g bag of ready grated mature parmesan. To be honest, had I added all of this it would have killed everyone. My advice, add the cheese last and taste as you go! I'll be making this again.

  Parmesan is not Vegetarian and to state it as such is illegal however I substituted it with Mozzarella and it turned out delicious, if you don't like gnocchi why not try it with a short pasta, like shells. My uncle is a chef and helps me out.

  I made this for my daughters and they loved it! Very tasty and so easy to make, had a little sauce leftover as I reduced the amount of gnocchi for smaller portions so I used it to go with grilled chicken for myself! Will become a regular dish in my household!

  You can get vegetarian parmesan cheese a company called Bookhams specialise in it, it cost me 6 quid including postage which is a bit hefty for a small block of cheese! But i loved parmesan cheese until i found out it wasnt vege friendly! hope thats a help!

  It is infuriating when non-veggie ingredients are included in vegetarian recipes, and that there is so little understanding of what is/is not vegetarian and why (No, it is not vegetarian if it is cooked on the grill after the meat...). Much as I dislike touting for Sainsbury's, they do do a vegetarian Parmesan-style cheese which is in their Basics range and is called, I believe, Italian-style cheese. Best fill-in for Parmesan that I have found.

  Someone might have said this already but Sainsbury's sell a "basic hard cheese" which is very similar to Parmesan but suitable for vegetarians.

  Simple and delicious. The 250g of gnocchi even satisfied us fatties:) We had purple sprouting brocolli and had more than a pinch of chilli flakes but we will definitely make this again, lovely.

  I would like to add to people reading LouLou890 comment, that only authentic "Parmigiano-Regiano" (named by the french as Parmesan) is cultivated using raw cows milk and Calf Rennet, other italian hard cheeses not from this authentic region do not contain this rennet. Also as it is now against the law to sell unpasteurized cheese in the UK it amkes Parmigiano-Regiano very hard to get hold off as it uses raw unpasteurized morning cows milk. So Veggi's keep enjoying your Italian hard cheese.

  Fabulous recipe and very quick to make. I replaced broccoli with asparagus and it was great, but I think broccoli must also go with this dish. Highly recommended

  This recipe was absolutely delicious! The sauce has a lovely taste of parmesan, but isn't too cheesy that it gets too much. The chilli is a fantastic addition and really adds a depth of flavour. Gnocchi is very filling so you do not need a large amount. I would certainly recommend this to friends and will be making it again!

  Hi all. In response to complaints that this recipe isn't actually vegetarian, we've now changed the ingredients list to include a 'vegetarian alternative' cheese. While authentic Parmesan is always made with rennet, there are plenty of alternative versions out there. Once is this Twineham Grange version: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/sainsburys-price-comparison/cheese/twineham_grange_vegetarian_parmesan_cheese_approx_230g.html. The cookery team are really sensitive to special diets, so we're sorry a few of you are dissatisfied with the tagging of this recipe. All the best, bbcgoodfood.com web team.
