Servings: 2 dinners or 4 appetizers | Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins

This elegant gnocchi dish brings together rich, smoky, and gently bitter flavors for a perfectly balanced Italian comfort meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pack (9 oz.) Nuovo Pasta Classic Potato Gnocchi
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 oz. Speck (Italian smoked prosciutto), thinly sliced and cut in strips
  • A few leaves of red radicchio lettuce
  • ½ Cup Heavy cream
  • Salt and Black pepper to taste
  • 4 Tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Wash and chop a few sprigs of fresh parsley.
2. Wash and pat dry a small radicchio head, remove half a dozen leaves, and save the
rest for future use (great for salads). Stack the radicchio leaves on top of each other and
thinly slice.
3. Place butter and speck in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until golden and
crispy.
4. Remove speck with a slotted spoon and set aside.
5. Add radicchio to the same pan and cook for a few minutes until wilted and slightly
caramelized.
6. Then add cream, pepper, and Parmigiano Reggiano and bring to a simmer, stirring
gently.
7. While cream is heating, cook gnocchi separately in lightly salted boiling water
according to package directions.
8. Drain gnocchi and place in the skillet with the sauce. Lower the heat and stir until
gnocchi are evenly coated. Transfer to a serving platter, top with crispy speck, sprinkle
with parsley and enjoy!
