Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

While the gnocchi cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for approximately one minute until fragrant but not burnt.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. This mixture will create a creamy sauce when added to the hot gnocchi, so ensure it’s smooth for optimal results.

Add the drained gnocchi directly into the skillet containing the crispy bacon and garlic. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are well-coated in flavorful oil before removing from heat.

Quickly pour the egg and Parmesan mixture over the hot gnocchi while stirring constantly. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs gently, creating a silky sauce that clings beautifully to each piece of gnocchi.

Season your dish with salt and black pepper according to taste before garnishing with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately for maximum creaminess and enjoy your comforting bowl of Gnocchi Carbonara with Bacon & Parmesan!
