Bacon Tomato Gnocchi

Fluffy potato dumplings coated in tomato sauce with bacon, pepper and peas. My kind of comfort food!

Ingredients:

500g shelf stable gnocchi

6 slices bacon, roughly chopped

1 1/2 - 2 cups tomato sauce

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup frozen peas, or peas and carrots

1 tsp dry oregano

black pepper to taste

Boil the gnocchi in a pot of water 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top, then drain.

In a large skillet cook the bacon for 3-4 minutes and remove to a plate. Also remove all but 2 tbsps of bacon fat from the pan. Add the red pepper and sauté 2-3 minutes, then add the gnocchi and brown 1-2 minutes per side. Add the garlic and stir 1 minute before adding the peas, black pepper, oregano and bacon.

Toss with your favourite tomato sauce and heat through. Then it's ready to serve!
