Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the potato gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender. Stir occasionally, coating in the drippings.
  4. Return cooked gnocchi to the skillet along with sautéed broccoli. Add Boursin cheese and ½ cup of broth. Stir gently to combine, adding more broth for desired consistency.
  5. Add crispy bacon back into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan and parsley.
