BLT Gnocchi

Cook the gnocchi

• Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook them for 5 - 7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer from the pan and set aside.

Make the sauce

• In the same pan, cook the bacon lardons on a medium heat until crispy (no need to add extra oil as they will release fat when cooking). While the lardons are cooking, slice the tomatoes in half.
• Remove the lardons from the pan. Add the tomatoes to the pan, tossing to coat them in the fat released by the lardons. Add a splash of water and cook for around 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the flavour. Squish the tomatoes with the back of a spoon to break them down.

Add the gnocchi to the sauce

• Add the gnocchi back into the pan. Stir in the Parmesan (keep some aside for serving) along with another splash of water and stir vigorously. Check the seasoning and adjust to how you like it. Stir through the rocket and mix well.

Plate Up

• Scatter with the reserved Parmesan then plate up and enjoy!
