INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp Oil
100 gr Bacon Finely Diced
250 ml Cream
½ Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Black Pepper
50 gr Cheddar Cheese grated
30 gr Parmigiano Cheese *see Notes
30 ml Water
OR
1 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Flour
225 ml Heavy Cream
2 Cloves Garlic – minced or Crushed
1 Gnocchi
2 Cups Broccoli Florets – steamed
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
METHOD
1 Add the oil to a pan, heat up.
2 Throw in your cut bacon in the pan and fry until the bacon has turned crisp.
3 Then pour in the cream and mix the content.
4 Season with salt and black pepper.
5 Add in the grated Cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
6 Mix the whole content well and pour in the water to mix it well into the sauce
7 Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, as it will thicken quickly.
8 Now you can add your cooked Gnocchi and toss them into the sauce so that all the Gnocchi are covered with the sauce.
9 Serve hot.
Notes
You can choose to use Bacon or Speck (aka lard in some places) in this Gnocchi Sauce recipe. If you use Speck, cut into ultra-thin slices and small pieces and add at the end to the sauce (no need to cook the Speck)
Pick a flavorful Parmesan (the real Parmigiano Reggiano not something from a jar) and Cheddar with character. You may substitute the cheddar with Gruyere or Raclette cheese.
Do not substitute the Parmesan with anything else. Parmesan is a must in this recipe. ?
Use quality cheese and bacon/Speck only!
