Whip up a creamy one-pan gnocchi dinner with a shortcut using Boursin cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 4 thick-cut bacon slices, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 (12-ounce) packages skillet gnocchi (such as Rana), divided
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 (5.2-ounce) package Boursin or other gournay cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • Finely chopped fresh chives, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
  • Fry the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and browned, about 6 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 1-2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
  • Achieve a golden sear on the gnocchi: Turn up the heat to medium-high, then cook half of the gnocchi until crispy and golden, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, then repeat with the rest of the gnocchi.
  • Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, combine water, cheese, mustard, and salt without wiping it clean. Stir until the cheese is melted and a smooth sauce forms, approximately 2 minutes. Add the peas and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until peas are warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Serve by adding the browned gnocchi and half of the bacon back to the skillet. Stir to coat with the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and sprinkle with the remaining bacon and chives, if desired. Serve immediately while it's hot and delicious. Enjoy this dish right away as gnocchi doesn't save well.
