Creamy Skillet Gnocchi with Broccoli and Pancetta

Creamy Skillet Gnocchi with Broccoli and Pancetta

Yield: 4 servings 

Ingredients 

1 cup chicken broth 

60 grams Parmesan cheese, grated (1 cup) 

1⁄2 cup heavy cream 

3⁄4 teaspoon pepper, divided 

125 grams pancetta, cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces 

4 tablespoons unsalted butter 

680 grams broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces 

1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt 

454 grams vacuum-packed gnocchi 

2 garlic cloves, minced 

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

Directions 

  1. Whisk broth, Parmesan, cream, and ½ teaspoon pepper together in bowl; set aside.  

  1. Cook pancetta and butter in large (30cm/12”) nonstick skillet over medium heat until pancetta is beginning to brown, 2-4 minutes. Add broccoli, salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green, about 3 minutes. 

  1. Add gnocchi and cook until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth mixture and bring to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and broccoli and gnocchi are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve. 

NOTE: The partially cooked, vacuum-packed gnocchi found in the pasta aisle work best here, but refrigerated or frozen gnocchi can also be used. Serve sprinkled with red pepper flakes, if desired.
