Instructions

1. Cook pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

2. Add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

4. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Once they float, drain and add them to the sauce.

5. Toss gnocchi in the sauce to coat evenly. Stir in crispy pancetta and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use store-bought gnocchi to save time.

For a meatless version, skip pancetta and add sautéed mushrooms.

Add a splash of milk when reheating to keep the sauce smooth.
