1 unit
onion
2 clove
garlic
1 packet
diced bacon
¾ packet
gnocchi
(Contains Gluten, Sulphites; May be present Soy. )
1 packet
button mushrooms
½ bottle
Pure Cream
(Contains Milk; )
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains Milk; )
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
tbs
olive oil
20 g

Finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the button mushrooms.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until browned, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the gnocchi (see ingredients list) in a single layer and fry, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to the plate with the bacon.
TIP: Add more olive oil if the gnocchi is sticking to the pan. TIP: If the gnocchi doesn't fit in a single layer, fry in batches until golden!
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and butter and cook until the mushrooms are browned and softened, 7-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir through the pure cream (see ingredients list), grated Parmesan cheese and baby spinach leaves. When the cream is heated through, return the bacon and gnocchi to the pan and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the creamy bacon and mushroom gnocchi between bowls.
