    sooooo good! little mushy like the other review but i think it's because the recipe says simmer-too much water got into them. I would bring it to a straight up boil next time. Anyway they were so ridiculously wonderful aside from a little mush!

    I tried 3 times and couldn't get the gnocchi to come out. Every time it was too mushy. I just couldn't figure out why. I tried the mushy ones and they would have been wonderful if they were cooked all the way through but I just couldn't get it to happen. I tried less time and more but it just wouldn't work. Suggestions would be great!

    I thought the lemon was way to strong, might make again with less then half.

    The gnocchi definitively needed more flour than the recipe called for and I really thought the sauce was blah.

    This recipe is very easy and quick to make. Light and fluffy. You can add as much zest and cheese as you want to make it to your taste. I didn't have any mascapone so I made it with light cream cheese. Delicious! I'll make it again and again.

    I had no problem with them getting mushy, but I took them out of the water as soon as they came to the top. I did cut the lemon in 1/2 and added garlic to the olive oil. I think they are very rich and better as an appetizer, rather than the main meal. Skip the extra Parmesan.

    some where along the line I missed the additional l/4 flour and 5 to 6 minutes made them very mush. I tried the recipe twice to no avail. I decided to bake them after gently cooking the second batch and they came out as delicious crackers. 400 degrees for 15 minutes. I won't try making these again.

    Glad to read the reviews. I, too, noticed the big difference in the amount of flour. Having made many pastries in the past, this would make a lot of difference. I do plan to make these, and will watch the show again. Thank you so much for your reviews. I love to try new dishes, and pastries are one, having grown up with my mother making them practically every day when I was young, and am in my 70s. Lots of practice. Thanks Giada.

    Very flavourfull but very salty and too much basil. I need to figure out how to balance this one...any suggestions? i like the creamy flavor, maybe a 'lighter' sauce?

    The recipe tasted as amazing as I imagined while watching Giada make these on TV. They are little pillows of heaven, lemony heaven. Not sure what all the fuss is about the salt. In the gnocchi themselves? Or in the oil? If the latter, perhaps you didn't let the heated oil sit long enough for the salt to breakdown and infuse the oil. I did freeze the gnocchi on a cooking sheet lined with parchment for nearly an hour before dropping them in the water. They seemed to loose to boil sooner. Then I was also able to divide the batch up in individual portions and freeze for later meals. It was a glorious week of dinners.
