Method

Cook gnocchi as directed on package, drain, and set aside. In a large saute pan over medium high heat, fry chopped bacon until just before it becomes crispy. Remove bacon, set aside, and drain. Using the same pan, melt butter. Add mushrooms, chipotle, garlic, and salt to butter. Saute until almost tender, add stock, and reduce by half, about 4 minutes. To mushroom mixture, add bacon and gnocchi. Gently mix until gnocchi is completely coated. Evenly divide gnocchi mixture between 8 small ovensafe ramekins. Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet, top with Manchego and Parmesan cheese, and place under a broiler just until lightly browned and bubbly. Remove and garnish with fresh parsley.

 

Notes: This is a nice change from the same ole run of the mill potatoes served with a meal.
