Creamy Gnoochi with Peas and Bacon Recipe on 5DollarDinners.com

That bowlful of goodness right there…that’ll make your taste buds do back flips.

It starts with a homemade cream sauce. Get it going and then stir in the bacon and peas.

While the sauce is simmering, you ‘cook’ the gnocchi. I put quotes around the ‘cook’ because it just takes a few minutes for them to ‘float in the pot.’ It really only takes a minute or two once the water is to a rolling boil.

Once the gnocchi is cooked, you slide them into the cream sauce and let it all cook for a few minutes and voila…dinner in less than 30!

Creamy sauce, salty bacon, little sweet from the peas…the perfect flavor and taste combos!
