Ooooohhhh my was that meal awesome!!! The gnocchi I made a few days ago was fantastic!! I think I may have to make it every week!! Talk about cheap to make, all I had to buy was ricotta and the rest of the stuff is basic stuff I always have!! So when I was deciding what I wanted to do with the gnocchi tonight I had sooooo many choices. Good thing I have more because I already have a plan for this weekend! Today I decided that since I had bacon, which I normally dont buy, Id make carbonara. The first time I remember eating carbonara was when my friend mike invited me over because he was making it, and raved about his carbonara, so thanks mike for the introduction! After eating, a classic Pastel moment happened. Ready dad?! I asked Chris if he liked it and of course he loved it, but I asked what else about it...he said its really garlicky, and the Pastel response, "what garlic!" The funny thing was I thought I went easy on the garlic hahaha! Here is the carbonara recipe I used, if you missed the gnocchi recipe from Monday you MUST make it! I took it out of the freezer right into the boiling water and removed when it floated!
2 garlic cloves minced ( I only addes one extra)
1/2c half and half
1c Parmesan cheese
SaLt and pepper to taste
1 egg
Bacon * use as much as u want I did 6 pieces
Cook bacon then when its almost crispy add garlic. In a bowl mix the rest and whisk. Add the hot bacon grease and all. Then add your homemade delicious fantastic gnocchi (I think im in love with the gnocchi or just really had a taste for it or both!). Top with fresh parsley.
