    Easy and excellent. Could not believe how good this is. We make it often. Highly recommend it to everyone.

    We made a minor variation with regard to the bread. By toasting the chunks of bread in the olive oil and butter FIRST, we then removed the bread from the pan and added it back after the sauce had simmered. The bread took on the sauce perfectly but the pre-toasting prevented the bread from getting mushy.

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT, this dish is SUPERIOR to gnocchi!

    How is this remotely gnocchi? Call it what it is, which is croutons with tomato sauce and cheese. Actual gnocchi is made from potatoes or ricotta. This ain't it.

    Hey! For a 2 minute meal, you could just as easily open a can of Chef Boy-ar-di. Cheaper, too, probably tastes the same.

    If you want to make REAL gnocchi, try instructions from Marcella Hazan, Biba Caggiano, or Michael Chiarello.

    This recipe was very good but my fiancee didn't like the fact that there was no meat, so next time I think I'll put in some grilled chicken breast. Otherwise this dish had great flavor and was very filling.

    This is such an easy dish. And with 3 kids, that's always important. It's absolutely delicious.

    This dish doesn't actually feel anything like Gnocchi, but it tasted like the best restaurant version I have ever had. The bread was a little soggy, but if you can get past that and just enjoy the flavors, you will really enjoy it. NOTE this dish does not reheat well. Just throw out what you don't eat; soggy turns to mush if you heat it up.
