INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound
gnocchi - 5 slices bacon
- 1 scallion thinly sliced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup
tomato paste - 1/2 cup

INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook bacon slices in a pan over medium heat until very crispy. Place on a paper towel to drain. When cool, crumble into small pieces. Set aside.

This has been a favorite recipe for my wife and me over the years. Making it again tonight so thought I’d review. I think this is my all time favorite dish to make. Sometimes I like to add cherry tomatoes (smashed after they’ve been in the pan a while before adding the gnocchi) and also wilt a bunch spinach into the pan as well. I have also taken everything in this recipe (minus the gnocchi) and put it on a homemade pizza, which was awesome.
Also nice with mushrooms👍
lovely sauce i added mushroom . it was great family love it
This was such an excellent rich sauce!
Could you send a plate of this over here, please? 🙂 I didn’t know what arrabbiata mean so glad I learned something today! 🙂 Great dish!
