How to Make Gnocchi With Bacon And Tomatoes

  1. Dice bacon and thinly slice onion.
  2. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crispy and onion is softened and lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions until they float to the surface (usually 2-3 minutes).
  4. Drain the gnocchi, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  5. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved gnocchi water to the skillet with the bacon and onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until a light sauce begins to form (about 1 minute).
  6. Stir in halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
  7. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  8. Cook for another minute, allowing the gnocchi to heat through and absorb some of the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
