Baked Bacon Gnocchi

When I first saw this recipe for Cheeseburger Gnocchi, I thought this is a must try! But as I am prone to do when other inspiration hits, I changed up the recipe a little bit with amazing (IMHO) results. This recipe was so easy and when I tell you DELISH, the proof is in the eating—I left my son with it and half a good sized pan was gone in under 15 minutes after it came out of the oven!  😛

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

1. In an oven proof good sized fry pan, on medium heat, add the center cut bacon and fry to your desired crispness. Remove the bacon to a paper toweled plate to drain. Keep the bacon drippings in the pan.
2. Add the olive oil to the bacon drippings. Sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes and add the gnocchi. Stir to combine. Sauté all together for 5 minutes.
3. Add the marinara sauce, mustard powder, paprika, 1/2 the parsley flakes and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add half the mozzarella cheese to the gnocchi and combine.
5. Spread the rest of the mozzarella on top with the rest of the parsley. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top OR mix half in with the gnocchi and sprinkle the remaining on top. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!  😀

**Be VERY careful when removing the pan from the oven, the handle will be HOT.

As a visual reminder I always put an oven mitt over the handle in addition to using a pot holder.**
