Equipment

Ingredients

8 oz Bacon
1 lb Gnocchi
12 oz Broccoli florets
2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
1 tablespoon All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Milk I used 2% but can use whole milk for a creamier sauce
4 oz Cheddar Cheese freshly grated; I used Wickedly Habanero Cabot Cheddar Cheese

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lay the strips of a bacon on a baking sheet. On another baking sheet, add the gnocchi on one side and the broccoli on the other. Drizzle with the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crisp, and the gnocchi and broccoli and tender.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until it forms into a paste. Slowly pour in the milk and cook for a few minutes, stirring to combine. Add the freshly grated cheese. I used a habanero cheddar cheese which has some spice. If you are using plain cheddar cheese, feel free to toss in some cayenne pepper for some extra heat. Stir to combine and cook for another minute until completely melted.
Serve with the gnocchi and broccoli evenly divided between plates. Top with the cheddar cheese sauce and crumbled bacon.
