Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g potato gnocchi
- 150 g bacon
- 200 g cottage cheese
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the cottage cheese and milk to the skillet, stirring to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat the gnocchi evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the gnocchi are heated through.
Stir in the crispy bacon pieces and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve the gnocchi in bowls, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
