Ingredients

  • 500 g store bought gnocchi
  • 12 oz bacon, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 (400g) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water until the gnocchi rises to the surface. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon until it starts to crisp. Discard most of the fat, then add in the garlic and cook for around 1 minute.
  • Add in the cayenne pepper, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for around 5 minutes. Mix in the heavy cream.
  • Remove from heat and mix in the gnocchi. Pour the mixture into a 9 inch square baking pan and top with the mozzarella.
