Description
A heartwarming dish of tender gnocchi coated in a rich, garlicky Boursin cheese sauce with crispy bacon and vibrant broccoli.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package potato gnocchi
- 4 oz Boursin cheese
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional) for serving
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions: Begin boiling water, then gently add the gnocchi. They will float when done—this typically takes just a few minutes.
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, around 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté the broccoli: Once the bacon is crispy, toss in the broccoli florets and sauté until tender—about 3–4 minutes.
- Combine the gnocchi and Boursin: Reduce the heat and gently mix in the cooked gnocchi and Boursin cheese until melted.
- Season to taste: Sprinkle salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Serve hot: Transfer to plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
For a brighter color, consider blanching the broccoli before sautéing.
