• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the grease behind.

5. Reduce the heat to low. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Return the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi and Brussels sprouts with the creamy sauce.
8. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the gnocchi is heated through.
9. Serve the Brussels sprouts and gnocchi hot, topped with the crispy bacon.
10. Enjoy!
