Prep: 10 minutes mins
Cook: 25 minutes mins
Yield: 2 servings

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 sliced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

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.
  • Cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Combine heavy whipping cream, tomato paste, cayenne, and salt in a bowl. Stir until well mixed; this will be the tomato sauce used later. Set aside.
  • Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan, cooking over medium heat until the garlic browns, a few minutes.
  • Add gnocchi to the pan, stirring and cooking for a few minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add tomato sauce to the pan, mixing so that everything is coated in the sauce.
  • Sprinkle crumbled bacon and sliced scallions over the top of the pan. Serve.

NOTES & TIPS


Traditionally, arrabbiata pasta is served with penne and pecorino romano cheese, but since this recipe is nowhere near authentic, it is made using gnocchi, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, and lots of extra crispy bacon.

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.
