- gnocchi – homemade or not
How to get it done:
- Depending on the type of spinach that you have all you have to do is sear the spinach in a hot pan with just a tiny bit of oil so it does not stick. It will release a lot of liquid and when those liquids are done, marinate them with salt and pepper. Put it aside and clean the pan
- Throw in the cubed bacon in the pan with no oil. Cook them till crispy and retain the bacon fat.
- In a big pot of salted boiling water throw in the gnocchi. If they are homemade, cook them till they float. If they are store-bought, cook them based on the directions on the packaging. Drain them after they are cooked
- Add a tablespoon of butter in the bacon fat. After it melts, in this order, add the gnocchi and mix it up.
