Applewood Bacon Gnocchi






This is one of those dishes created out of fondness for a memory of a favorite vacation.

While vacationing at the Villa La Borghetta Resort in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany, we stumbled upon a neighborhood eatery that made, possibly, the best carbonara, I have ever eaten.

Rich, egg-y flavor coupled with smokey chunks of pancetta; my mouth was amazed by it's fresh flavor and faboulous ingredients. That memory has lingered for three years now and I wonder if I will ever experience this rich, golden goodness again?

My dish features locally cured bacon with a smokey sweetness and some Italian gnocchi!
