Mary Berg's Bacon & Pea Gnocchi Recipe | The Good Stuff

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Dice the bacon into small pieces and place it in a cold pan.

Turn the heat to medium and let the bacon cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until crispy, allowing the fat to render out.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a good amount of salt.

Add 500 g of gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the pan, leaving the rendered fat behind.

Add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan with the bacon fat and let it melt down.

Add about 1 cup of frozen peas to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bright and tender, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Grate 2 cloves of garlic and zest half a lemon, adding both to the pan with the peas.

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the pan and stir to combine, cooking for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to cook off the raw garlic flavor.

Chop some parsley and add it to the pan, stirring to combine.

Once the gnocchi are floating, add them to the pan and stir everything together.
