Gnocchi with speck and cream is a delicious main course that is easy to make and full of flavor. You can make gnocchi at home or buy them ready-made at the supermarket or deli. I used zucchini gnocchi for this dish, but I’ve tried this sauce multiple times with classic POTATO GNOCCHI and even with PUMPKIN AND RICOTTA GNOCCHI, and they are fantastic in this version too. Of course, if you prepare homemade gnocchi, you’ll get an even better dish, but if you’re in a hurry or not very familiar with cooking, you can buy them. Now let’s see how to make gnocchi with speck and cream, and if you try them, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare Gnocchi with speck and cream
Let’s start preparing gnocchi with speck and cream, cook the gnocchi and place them in a bowl with a drizzle of oil to prevent them from sticking together. Cut the speck slice into pieces and set aside.
Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the butter into a pan, when the butter is melted, add the speck cubes and sauté for a few minutes.
Once the speck is sautéed, add the gnocchi to the pan, mix, and pour in the cream, stir to combine everything, and if necessary, you can add a few tablespoons of gnocchi cooking water.
