Easy enough to make, but I was expecting something with a bit more bite. My husband who loves raw spinach and can't stand cooked, felt it tasted like cooked spinach even though I didn't saute the pesto. Maybe my eyes kept giving me trouble since it looks so much like pesto ....

Don't go overboard with the garlic... I used three cloves, next time I'll only use 2 small ones. I think it needs to be indicated in the recipe that the pesto needs to be cooked/simmered with the gnocchi before serving..
