    I don’t know… the cream was kinda too much for me. Next time, I might just use half or something. Not bad overall though.

      I actually loved the creaminess! It just makes everything taste so rich and delicious. Maybe you could try a little less next time, but I think it’s part of the charm of the dish. 🥰

      I dunno, but cream is supposed to be creamy! Why would you go cutting it down? Just means there’s less flavor. Maybe try a different recipe if you didn’t like this one as much.

    Gnocchi is just doughy lumps 😂. But I guess the sauce makes it better or something?

    I dunno about boiling the gnocchi; they always stick to the pot for me. Maybe try frying them first?

      I used to have that problem too, but make sure the water is really boiling before you add the gnocchi. It helps a lot! Give it another shot! 🌟

    I tried this last night but I subbed the pancetta with bacon. It was still good but not the same!

    Too much cream, doesn’t need that much! But pancetta’s good. Gnocchi must’ve been okay since they floated.

      I think the cream is just fine! It makes it so rich and flavorful. You might be missing out if you cut back on it.

      Nah, I like it creamy! It’s a comfort food, after all. The pancetta pairs perfectly with all that cream.
