Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Wrap the garlic tightly in aluminum foil and roast for 50 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  4. While the garlic roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy.
  5. Remove the bacon and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté chopped shallots.
  6. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the skillet, add chicken broth and heavy cream. Season and simmer.
  7. Add gnocchi directly into the sauce and cook for about 8 minutes until tender.
  8. Stir in chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
