Method
0 of 7 done- Boil the potato in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, allow to cool slightly, and then mash until smooth.
- Combine mashed potato with flour and egg yolk. Knead gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking to prevent tough gnocchi.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the gnocchi with a drizzle of olive oil or a simple tomato sauce and extra Parmesan on top, if desired.
