Description
A rich and creamy one-pot gnocchi dish featuring savory beef bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Ready in under 45 minutes.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces uncooked potato gnocchi
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (alcohol substitute)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces beef bacon, diced (pork substitute)
- 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
- Fresh basil, for garnish
- Kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced beef bacon and cook until the fat renders and the pieces become crispy. Add the diced onion and garlic, stirring often until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the uncooked gnocchi.
- Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and check doneness; cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed until tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Serve immediately topped with fresh basil.
Notes
This recipe traditionally uses pancetta and white wine. I have substituted beef bacon and chicken broth for a delicious alcohol-free and pork-free version.
