Bacon Kale Gnocchi

Soft, pillowy gnocchi topped with crispy bacon and kale might be just what you're looking for if it's a quick meal with uber flavour you're craving.

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped kale

5 slices bacon, cut in squares

1 small onion, diced

1 lb shelf stable gnocchi

1/2 cup pesto sauce

1/4 - 1/2 cup reserved pasta water

First lightly cook the bacon in a skillet then add the onion and cook until both are done to your liking. Remove skillet from heat and add the kale. Keep warm. Cook gnocchi as per package directions (usually 3 minutes until they float to the top of the water) and reserve some pasta water. Drain the gnocchi and stir in the pesto. Add water until you reach the consistency you desire. Plate the pasta then finish with kale and bacon.
