Description
We’re taking Italian comfort food to a whole new level. Yep, I’ve combined gnocchi with crispy bacon, sautéed scallions, toasted pine nuts and Parmigiano…
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb. bacon slices
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1 pound package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parm, plus more for serving
- black pepper
Instructions
- Place bacon on a cooling rack and set rack in a sheet pan.
- Place pan in a 400 degree oven, don’t worry about preheating.
- Flipping the bacon once, bake until browned and crispy, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Set bacon on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- Once cool, cut into 1 inch strips.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add pine nuts. Cook for about two minutes, until nuts begin to turn golden. Remove from pan. Set aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter and olive oil.
- Add scallions and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook gnocchi according to package directions. Retain 1/4 cup cooking liquid and drain the rest.
- Add gnocchi with 1/2 cup Parmigiano and bacon to the pan with scallions. Add splashes of cooking liquid for a looser sauce.
- Toss well to coat.
- Transfer gnocchi to a large serving dish.
- Top with toasted pine nuts, more Parmigiano, and black pepper.
