Instructions
- Start by chopping up 3 cloves of garlic and a 1/4 cup of basil. They can be roughly chopped. Set aside.
- Then, cube your bacon and fry it in a pan on medium-high heat until it’s crispy and cooked through. Set it aside on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
- Add your herbs back into the pot and cook down until your garlic looks golden.
- Turn your heat down. Pour in your heavy cream, truffle balsamic and olive oil. stir and give the ingredients about 5 minutes to simmer together.
- Add in your gnocchi and cook according to the package (mine specified 2-3 minutes). You’ll know they fully cooked when you pierce them and they have an even color and texture. If in doubt 2-4 minutes is the rule of thumb.
- The cream sauce will start to thicken because of the starches from the pasta. You want that deliciousness!
- Turn off your heat, and top with bacon and a little bit of fresh basil. You can also grate in some Parmigiano Reggiano.
Notes
- This recipe is best served alongside chicken. It’s SO rich, but delicious.
- If you don’t have truffle balsamic, it’s okay. Regilar balsamic vinegar will do just fine, or you can leave it out if you don’t want the acidity.
