Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, gently add the potato gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface, signaling they’re done. Drain the gnocchi in a colander and set aside while you prepare the crispy bacon and creamy sauce.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon becomes crispy and golden brown. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the pan for added flavor.
- With the bacon drippings still in the skillet, add fresh broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. Stir frequently, allowing the broccoli to tenderize while maintaining a vibrant green color. Season it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor of your Tasty Boursin Bacon Broccoli Gnocchi.
- Fold the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the sautéed broccoli. Pour in your choice of chicken or vegetable broth and mix well. Lower the heat to medium-low, then stir in the Boursin cheese. Let it melt for about 2-3 minutes until you achieve a creamy sauce that lovingly coats all the ingredients.
- Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, mixing it into the gnocchi and sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, adjust the consistency by adding more broth or pasta water, as needed. Serve hot, garnishing your Tasty Boursin Bacon Broccoli Gnocchi with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley for a delightful finish.

Notes
Blanching the broccoli before sautéing helps maintain its vibrant color and crisp texture. Use medium-low heat while melting the Boursin cheese to ensure a silky smooth sauce. Always taste and adjust the seasoning at the end.
