Cooking Steps
• Finely chop brown onion. Finely chop garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. • Add the sliced mushrooms and diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, heat a second large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • When the oil is hot, cook the gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi is sticking to the pan.
• Reduce the pan with the veggies to a low heat, then add the light cooking cream, the salt, shaved Parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish!) and baby spinach leaves. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1-2 minutes. • Add the gnocchi. Stir to combine then remove from heat.
• Thinly slice cucumber. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season, then add the rocket leaves and cucumber. Toss to coat.
• Divide the creamy mushroom, bacon and Parmesan gnocchi between bowls. Sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan. Serve with the rocket and cucumber salad. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The creamy mushroom and bacon combination was a clear highlight, with bacon praised for complementing the dish perfectly.
- Ease of prep: Most found it simple and quick to pull together, making it a great weeknight option.
- Suggestions: Some felt the garlic and herb seasoning was too strong, so consider using less if you prefer a milder flavour. As the bacon adds plenty of salt, taste before seasoning to avoid over-salting.
- Portions: A few felt the cream sauce could be more generous to coat the gnocchi well.
- Cooking method: Pan-frying the gnocchi is recommended by the recipe, though one reviewer found boiling worked for them — golden and crispy results came through when following the pan-fry method.
