Ingredients

• 500 grams Potato gnocchi
• 150 grams Bacon
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the frozen peas for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the bacon into small strips and set aside. Thinly slice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, add the gnocchi in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove the cooked gnocchi from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced bacon. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the bacon is crispy and has released its fat.

Step 5

Lower the heat slightly and add the sliced onion to the skillet with the bacon. Sauté for 6–7 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the blanched peas to the skillet and toss to combine. Return the crispy gnocchi to the skillet and stir everything together.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until well coated and heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, with extra Parmesan on the side if desired.
