Cooking Steps
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, fry gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi sticks to the pan.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice leek. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Pick thyme leaves.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and leek, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. • Add thyme, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, cooked gnocchi and the water and simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season with pepper.
• Remove pan from heat, add baby spinach and stir until wilted. • Divide creamy bacon gnocchi between bowls. Garnish with chilli flakes (if using). Enjoy!
