Ingredients for this Creamy Gnocchi Recipe:
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Prepare the gnocchi: While the bacon is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top). Drain and set aside.
- Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Combine: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the cooked bacon and Parmesan cheese, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Serve: Plate the gnocchi and top with extra Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
