This dish was just okay. The gnocchi were a bit bland and the pesto was too oily. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

The gnocchi were a bit too dense for my taste, but the pesto was delicious. I would try making the gnocchi again with a different recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of gnocchi, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The ricotta made the gnocchi extra light and fluffy, and the pesto was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
