Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the potato gnocchi and cook them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface, signaling they're done. Once cooked, drain the gnocchi in a colander and set them aside for later.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's crispy and golden brown. Once the bacon reaches your desired crispiness, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the delicious drippings in the skillet.
  3. Using the same skillet with bacon drippings, add chopped broccoli and sauté over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. As it cooks, stir frequently until the broccoli is tender and bright green. Season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and gently fold in the cooked potato gnocchi to the skillet with broccoli. Pour in the broth and add Boursin cheese, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
  5. Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, mixing it into the gnocchi and sauce until evenly distributed. Serve the Tasty Boursin Bacon Broccoli Gnocchi hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.
