Creamy Bacon & Leek Gnocchi
with Garlic Pangrattato & Parsley
Gnocchi really has it going on, these little pockets of deliciousness are stirred through a creamy sauce with bacon and leek for that comfort factor that we look for in any pasta. The fragrant hint of garlic in the sauce though adds a luxurious taste that will have your mouth watering.
Unfortunately, this week's celery was in short supply, so we've replaced it with carrot. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook gnocchi and diced bacon, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• While the gnocchi is cooking, finely chop garlic and carrot. Thinly slice leek. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook carrot and leek, until softened, 6-7 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients) and the water and simmer, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then return the gnocchi and bacon mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy bacon and leek gnocchi between plates. • Top with garlic pangrattato and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
