Recipe // Hello Fresh Bacon Gnocchi Recipe – First Time Cooking Gnocci!

And we are finally at Day 5! This was actually the day I had been most looking forward to. I love Gnocchi but have never actually cooked it myself as I was never exactly sure how to cook it. Jon had never tried it before so it was something different for him too. So this is the Hello Fresh Tomato and Bacon Gnocchi Recipe!

I have to say we loved this recipe so much!! It is probably my favourite of the week, so flavourful and easy to cook. Its something a bit out of the ordinary and a bit different. Ive actually gone out to buy more Gnocchi already as I can’t wait to cook it again and look for other gnocchi recipes to try out
