Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten Free and Dairy Free Pesto Bacon Gnocchi.
I’m a bit disorganised with the website this week. I normally spend Sunday morning prepping all the posts for the week ahead but a busy weekend has resulted in me updating the recipe posts in real time. I’ll need to see if I can put some time aside tonight and get back on track – I still have posts to prepare for carrot cake pancakes and sweet chilli, tomato and sweet potato soup.
Tonight’s recipe is for gnocchi – beautiful little potato dumplings. I make gnocchi at home quite a lot as it is really easy to make, I usually serve it with a tomato based sauce but this time decided to try something a bit different. I’ve tossed the gnocchi in a dairy free basil pesto and served it with some crispy smoked bacon.
