GNOCCHI WITH TOMATOES, PANCETTA & WILTED WATERCRESS
"We use just a touch of pancetta-cured Italian-style bacon-to balance the sweet tomatoes and peppery watercress. Make it a meal: A salad tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette completes dinner. We like the texture of 'shelf-stable' prepared gnocchi found in the Italian section of most supermarkets, but frozen and fresh refrigerated gnocchi also work well here." EatingWell, June 2007.
