Gnocchi With Two Cheeses Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Put a pan of salted water on to boil for the gnocchi. Meanwhile, slice the spring onions and blue cheese. Spoon the mascarpone into a large deep frying pan. Add the blue cheese and spring onions and leave to melt over a medium heat.
• Stir the mascarpone mixture. Tip the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
• Add the spinach in large handfuls to the cheese mixture and stir until just wilted. Crumble in half the bacon. Skim the gnocchi from the pan with a draining spoon, stir into the cheese mixture, then crumble over the remaining bacon. Serve with salad and crusty bread.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium heat add bacon and cook until slightly crisp. Discard the excess fat. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds. Drain the gnocchi and add it to the pan. Stir in the butter, then add the peas, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of salt and mix to combine. Add the lemon juice and allow flavors to blend. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer the gnocchi to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the gnocchi, according to package directions.
• While gnocchi is cooking, fry the pound of bacon in a skillet.
• Drain the bacon on paper towels and pat to remove excess grease.
• Cut or break (depending on how crispy you like your bacon) the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
• Drain the gnocchi and put back into boiling pot.
• Add cottage cheese and mix well.
• Add bacon pieces last to maintain crispness.
• Salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
• Leftovers can be heated in a pan with a little butter.
