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!
