Equipment

Ingredients

Keto Gnocchi:

1 Egg
1/2 Cup Cream Cheese
1 TBsp Coconut Flour
2,5 TBsp Guar Gum

Sauce:

1/2 Cup Bacon
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
3/4 Cup Grated Hard Cheese
Fresh Chives - Optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients for Gnocchi into a dough. Cut into 4 pieces and roll into a log. Each log is cut into small pieces.
Take each piece into your hand and roll it into a tiny ball.
Once done, press into the middle with your finger to shape into Orecchiette.
Place gnocchi into boiling water, where you have added a bit of oil and salt. This will help gnocchi not stick together. Cook for approximately 5 minutes.
Prepare all of the ingredients for Keto Alfredo Sauce with Bacon.
Cook your bacon first until golden brown.
Once the bacon is golden brown, add Heavy Cream and grated Cheese.
Cook the sauce for few minutes until all of the cheese is melted.
Place your Gnocchi into a bowl and add a scoop of the sauce.
To make it a bit more colorful and add a bit of freshness, you can cut fresh chives on top.

Notes

Gnocchi shape - I have chosen the Orecchiette shape, but you can choose whatever you like more. More shapes are in our Homemade Keto Gnocchi Post.

4 Portions - after my family had this dish for dinner, I have decided to divide it into 4 portions as this dish is filling and we were not able to eat the whole portion even though it did look tiny.

Thicker sauce - if you feel that you would like to have your sauce a bit thicker, add a pinch of Xanthan Gum or gelatin in.
