Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (16 ounce) packages gnocchi (total two pounds)
8 slices bacon, diced
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
8 ounces silky tofu, cut into cubes
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup nonfat yogurt
kosher salt and pepper, to taste
3 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions.
  • Once cooked, drain, drizzle with a little olive oil (to keep moist and from avoid sticking) and set aside.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Fry until crispy. Remove from pan to a paper towel-lined plate and blot away extra fat.

  • Add in pumpkin puree, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, chipotle chile powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  • Add gnocchi, chicken and bacon to the pan. Stir together and let sauce cook for 5 minutes to warm the gnocchi and chicken throughout.

  • Taste the dish and season with kosher salt and pepper if needed.
