Method

0 of 7 done
  1. Boil the potato in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, allow to cool slightly, and then mash until smooth.
  2. Combine mashed potato with flour and egg yolk. Knead gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking to prevent tough gnocchi.
  3. In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bacon and fry until crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
  4. In the same pan, cook the diced chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Combine cooked chicken, crispy bacon, ricotta, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roll the gnocchi dough into a thin log and cut into small squares. Flatten each square gently, place a small teaspoon of filling in the center, and fold the dough over, sealing the edges tightly.
  6. Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook stuffed gnocchi in batches, removing them with a slotted spoon once they float to the top, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve the gnocchi with a drizzle of olive oil or a simple tomato sauce and extra Parmesan on top, if desired.
