Gnocchi with Peas and Pancetta

Gnocchi with Peas and Pancetta

Just tried this tonight and it was amazingly delicious! You can buy frozen gnocchi or make the ricotta gnocchi (one of my favs) found on my blog.

Ingredients
1 tbsp of olive oil
4 oz of diced pancetta
2 tbsp of chopped onions
1 tsp of chopped garlic
1 cup of frozen peas
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 tbsp of butter
1/4 cup of cream
1 lb of frozen gnocchi
2 tbsp of grated parmiggiano
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Start by lightly browning pancetta in olive oil in a saute' pan over low flame.
Add onion and garlic until golden.
Add peas and chicken broth.
Cover and let simmer until peas are tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a pot of boiling water until they come to the surface (only a few minutes).
While gnocchi are cooking, add the butter and cream to the peas and let simmer on low to form a sauce (it will be thin). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the gnocchi and add to the pan with the peas.
Add the parmiggiano and stir on low heat until flavors blend together.
Serve immediately.
