Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 6 slices bacon (chopped)
  • 14 ounce diced tomatoes ((1 can))
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 3 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 cup mozzarella (shredded)

Instruction

  • Make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 435F°. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon. Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the fat and add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  • Cook the gnocchi: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. It should take just 1-2 minutes. Add the gnocchi straight from the boiling water to the skillet; reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Bake the gnocchi: Add a splash of the pasta cooking water to the skillet with the gnocchi and sauce. Mix everything together well, top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
