Ingredients

• 12 oz Vince and Sons Gnocchi
• 6-8 slices Smoking Goose Applewood Smoked Bacon, diced into 1 inch pieces
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Fresh cracked pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons, roughly chopped fresh parsley

Directions

• Heat salted water in a pot until boiling. Add the gnocchi and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi’s start to boil to the top. Take the gnocchi out of the water and set aside.
• In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Take out of the skillet and set aside on a paper towel.
• Take the skillet with the bacon fat and discard the fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon left in the skillet. Heat the skillet to medium heat and add the garlic and onions. Saute until tender.
• Add the gnocchi to pan and toss with onions and garlic and heat through. Add the crispy bacon pieces and toss gently. (You may need to add a tablespoon of the pasta water to loose up and scrape the bits on the bottom of the pan).
• Add the salt and pepper and toss. Turn off the heat and toss in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve.
