    Lovely recipe! It was very tasty, very refreshing, the lime and the courgette went very well together! I also doubled up the courgettes and it was just right. Will definitely make it again!

    Really nice dish and quite light which is what you need with heavy gnocchi. I also added more courgette and garlic which worked really well

    Lovely - as above, we also added an extra couple of courgettes and served the leaves with a lemony mustard dressing. Very speedy!

    Perfect fast food for all the family. Added a generous squeeze of lemon juice, as well as the zest, and put dried chillies on the table so that people could add the desired level of heat. Great flavours.

    Quite enjoyed this actually, after the first mouthful the chilli threw me a little, just seemed odd to have a kick in a creamy dish. But, as I continued it was rather enjoyable. Made a bit of garlic bred on the side, also added spinach for some more greens. Good mid seeker thank you!

    very easy and quick to make, but not sure about the quantity of cooking liquid - I used 500 g of gnocchi, and a bit more of all the other ingredients to make up for the extra 200 g of gnocchi - however, I used only 1 cup of cooking liquid, and it was still very, very runny, I expected a bit richer, more dense sauce, this one you needed a spoon for. Lovely flavours though, and perfect for a weeknight.
