Easy Cooking, Easy Clean-Up!

If you've tried my gnocchi with bacon and mushrooms you know the flavors are unreal - it truly is a dish you want to have over and over again, and just can't stop eating.

This is the even easier, hands-off version of that recipe.

Everything is baked on a sheet pan, all together, and then you just top with cheese, mix it up and serve.

Now how easy is that?!

You Only Need 8 Ingredients

Fresh, Refrigerated or Frozen Gnocchi

You can make this with any gnocchi you have - fresh, frozen or refrigerated. I generally use refrigerated. If it's frozen, just thaw it first.

Add Some Texture

I added pine nuts to this recipe to get some much needed texture. The mushrooms and gnocchi are both soft, and the bacon is crispy but not super crispy, so a nice crunch adds much-needed depth.

Now, pine nuts are often quite expensive, and you can absolutely use something else, like chopped walnuts, as well. But if you can, use pine nuts, they go so well with the other flavors of this dish.

Just 3 Steps & 30 Minutes

1. Prep Everything

Start by chopping mushroms and bacon. Then place gnocchi, mushrooms and pine nuts on a sheet pan and mix with oil and seasonings. Push it all to one side of the pan and add the bacon to the other side. This is to ensure the bacon gets some nice crisp!

2. Bake

Bake for 20 minutes, until bacon is cooked and crispy. Then add cheese!

3. Mix It All Together, and That’s That!

Yes, dinner is alreadye done!

My Top Tips

Do add something crunchy. It doesn't have to be pine nuts, but this dish really shines with a nice crunchy component, preferably some kind of nut or seed.

Keep the bacon separated. This is to ensure you get a nice crisp on it. If you don't like crispy bacon, then skip this, but I'm guessing you prefer it all nice and crisp.

Don't line your sheet pan. I've tried it both ways, and using a liner means the bacon will not crisp up as well and you won't get any crisp on the gnocchi.
