Gnocchi with Tomato Bacon Sauce and Mozzarella di Bufala

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Use about 1 tablespoon of sea salt.

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Drain the gnocchi and set aside in a colander.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the bacon cubes and cook until they are lightly crispy, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to your taste.

Let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan and sauté until they are golden and slightly crispy on the outside, which should take about 3–4 minutes.

Mix the crispy gnocchi with the tomato bacon sauce until they are evenly coated.

Serve the gnocchi on plates and top generously with Mini Mozzarella di Bufala DOP.

Optionally, drizzle with a little extra olive oil or garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Gnocchi with Tomato Bacon Sauce and Mozzarella di Bufala!
