Grace’s Gnocchi Carbonara

Directions

1Slice the bacon into thin strips.

2Heat a skillet to medium high and add the bacon. Cook until crisp. Turn off heat and move bacon to a paper towel lined plate leaving a little bit of the bacon grease in the skillet. Add the butter and oil and heat over medium high until butter is melted.

3Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce is reduced by about a third. Stir in nutmeg.

4Cook the gnocchi to package or other directions. With a slotted spoon, move gnocchi to a serving bowl. Top with sauce, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
