- 1 pound gnocchi
- 3 slices bacon sliced into little strips
- 1 small onion diced
- 1.5 cups frozen chopped kale
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
- sea salt & pepper

- freshly grated parmesan cheese garnish
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until some of the fat has rendered out (about a minute or two)
- Add the onions and saute until the bacon is crispy and the onions have cooked.
- While the onions cook, cook the gnocchi in a pot of boiling salted water until it floats (about 3 minutes)
- Drain the gnocchi (reserving ¼ cup of the cooking water), then add them to the skillet.
- Add the pasta water, cream, garlic and kale to the skillet, give everything a good stir to incorporate and bring it to a boil.
- When the sauce is boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook until the kale has heated and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve with parmesan cheese and toasted breadcrumbs.
