OPENING ACT
Boil the kettle. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Set aside to cool. Fill a pot with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once bubbling, cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
NEXT UP
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chopped Carrot and a splash of water. Simmer until the carrot is al dente and the water has been absorbed, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, add the grated garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml of water. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, (stirring occasionally).
MEANWHILE…
Place a second pan over medium heat. When hot, fry the bacon until cooked but not too crispy, 2 minutes per side. Set aside to drain on paper towel. Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a knob of butter and a small drizzle of oil. Once foaming, fry the gnocchi in a single layer until crispy, 4-5 minutes, shifting as they colour. Remove the pan from the heat. Roughly chop the bacon.
FINALE!
Once the sauce has simmered, remove from the heat. Stir in the rinsed Spinach, ¾ of the bacon and the fried gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, gradually mix in the reserved gnocchi water until the desired consistency. Add a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
THE TASTE OF A WARM SUNSET
