Creamy Spinach and Bacon Gnocchi

Hello friends!

Hope you’re ready for a super indulgent recipe today… We’re going for the “wow”, the “yum”, and the “Mmm… so good!” vibes.

Let me introduce you to my creamy spinach and bacon gnocchi.

An easy and quick recipe

This recipe is truly delicious, and you’ll see how simple and quick it is to make. A comforting dish just how I like it—perfect for those weeknight evenings when you’re wondering what on earth to cook and how you’re going to find the time between all the end-of-day activities… parents, I know you feel me!! 😉

As I was saying, this creamy spinach and bacon gnocchi is very easy to prepare and, honestly, it won’t take you long at all.

In twenty minutes, you’ll have a super tasty dish to serve, and I’m sure your guests will love it…

I admit it…

So, you may have noticed—I’m not really used to cooking gnocchi-based dishes, it’s not exactly a go-to in my kitchen. In fact, this is the first gnocchi recipe I’m sharing with you… My bad, apologies… I have to say, I’d previously tried some rather “meh” brands, and they didn’t exactly wow the crowd at my table.

My recommendation

This time, I used gnocchi from the Saint Jean brand—the same one I used for my recent recipe “creamy crozets with leeks”—and what a difference! The texture and taste were on another level! So yes, I recommend this brand for making my creamy spinach and bacon gnocchi!

Of course, you can adapt this recipe based on what you’ve got in your fridge, and you can totally make it vegetarian by skipping the bacon. 😉

Essential utensils:

A sauté pan (or a large frying pan),
A cutting board,
A good paring knife,
And a cheese grater.

Nothing too complicated!!

Other great ideas

As a fan of comforting cuisine, I can’t help but share a few more of my favorite dishes that also bring a touch of indulgence to the table. For example, if you’re into tasty and easy recipes, I highly recommend checking out my Parmesan Quinoa Gratin, which pairs perfectly with these creamy gnocchi. And for a more complete meal, why not try Rice My Way, which goes beautifully with seasonal vegetables? These recipes are ideal for mixing things up while keeping that cozy kitchen vibe. So, ready to indulge?

Let’s throw on our aprons and dive into my creamy spinach and bacon gnocchi!
