Very good, would make this again hands down. Would be great with fresh corn. This luxurious sauce would be delicious with any kind of cooked pasta. In the empty gnocchi pan, heat the cream cheese, courgette and lemon zest until piping hot, then tip the gnocchi back into the pan and stir to coat (add a little of the reserved cooking water to loosen if.
