Description

A comforting blend of crispy bacon, creamy cheese, and tender gnocchi, perfect for cozy nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz Bacon
  • 1 lb Gnocchi
  • 4 cups Broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • To taste Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, onion)
  • 2 cups Optional Vegetables (spinach, kale)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
  2. In the same pot, retain some bacon fat and sauté chopped onions and garlic until translucent.
  3. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add gnocchi and reduce heat to simmer until the gnocchi float.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
  5. Season to taste and stir in optional vegetables just before serving.
  6. Garnish with crumbled bacon and additional cheese before serving.

Notes

For a leaner option, consider using turkey bacon. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
