As for veggies u can add what ever u wish but these r the best combination wit any pasta but then it is all up to the individual.Cheers.

    Hi rabz tried your Gnocchi it was really nice and soft better then the shop one's. I did some changes instead of making it white sauce I put cream and pasta sauce , some crushed red chilli and some garlic and it was awesome. It think it is the fresh home made magic that always works best and your chana dal and paneer was also enjoyed by my dad. Thankxxxxxxxxx.
