Ingredients

  • 14 oz (400 g) potato gnocchi
  • 5.3 oz (150 g) bacon
  • 2 eggs plus 1 yolk eggs
  • 1/2 cup (1.8 oz / 50 g) grated Parmesan
  • 1 clove garlic
  • to taste black pepper

How to make it, step by step

  1. In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs with the extra yolk, the grated cheese and plenty of black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Brown the bacon in a skillet over medium heat with no oil until crispy. Add the minced garlic for the last minute.
  3. Cook the gnocchi in salted water; they are ready when they float (2-3 minutes). Drain them, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  4. Lower the heat to the minimum, add the gnocchi to the bacon skillet and take it off the heat.
  5. Pour in the egg mixture and stir quickly, adding a little cooking water, until the sauce is creamy (without scrambling the egg).
  6. Serve immediately with more cheese and pepper on top.
