This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it this weekend. I love gnocchi!
I don’t get the vodka sauce thing. Why use vodka? Is it just for flavor or is there a point? Anyway, I’ll probably skip this one.
Cheesy goodness!! My 6-year-old could eat this every day, it’s that good!
Too salty for my taste! I followed the recipe exactly, maybe next time I’ll skip the extra salt.
Gnocchi was soggy! I don’t know if I did something wrong or what… 🙁
No worries, it happens! Mine was a bit soggy too the first time I made it. Just gotta keep practicing!
Sorry to hear that! Maybe you overcooked the gnocchi? They can get mushy if left in the water too long!
This recipe was a total hit! My kids loved it, and so did I. Easy to make and super cheesy!
I was skeptical about vodka sauce with gnocchi at first, but it was surprisingly good. Not sure I’d make it again, though.
Made this for date night and it was perfect! Love how the cheeses melted. Gonna try it with homemade vodka sauce next time! 😊
