GO, GO GNOCCHI!
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of the gnocchi water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
BRING ON THE BACON
Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Roughly chop and set aside.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the grated Garlic, the tomato paste, and the wine until almost all the wine has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 20g of butter and the flour. Fry, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Loosen the sauce with the reserved gnocchi water.
FINAL TOUCHES & FLAVOURS
Return the pan with the sauce to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add the Paprika, the peas, ½ the grated cheese, the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Mix and remove from the heat. Stir through the cooked gnocchi, ½ the chopped bacon, and ½ the sliced basil.
DISH UP DINNER
Plate up the creamy Pea & bacon gnocchi and sprinkle over the remaining cheese & bacon. Garnish with the remaining basil. Finish off with a crack of black pepper. Cheers, Chef!
