I haven't tried this yet. Also, I'm not a fan of squash. Nevertheless, I see no reason why I couldn't use different vegetables. The whole concept of the recipe is fabulous, in my opinion. I'm always looking for good meatless options, and I really like gnocchi. I will definitely give this a try. I have most of the makings for it already. Another pantry-friendly recipe!

This was a huge hit with a group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians (few of whom had even tried gnocchi before). I doubled the recipe and they still scraped the pot clean. I used fresh basil, which definitely took the dish to another level. I also baked the vegetables as directed, with the exception of the mushrooms. Those I sautéed with a bit of extra pesto. It was flavorful and filling!

This recipe is easy to make and tasty. I did not add the optional basil, so found it needed some spice. I would double the mushrooms next time. Overall, a good recipe for a meatless dish. Very filling.
