Made for Recipe Swap #12, January 2008. I have never had Gnocchi before, but had always wanted to try it. I'm glad I made this recipe for my first try at gnocchi. I loved the spinach, bacon and chickn in this dish. I added some minced garlic and some red pepper flakes and ended up with a very enjoyable meal. Thanks, Elmotoo.

I made 1/2 the recipe and used what I had on hand. First, didn't use any spinach - I forgot to pick some up plus DH needs to avoid leafy greens. Also, I used canned chicken breast. I had pecan butter left over from a recent salmon dish and used that to make the roux. I did use a leek, but think it would be fine with regular onion, too. One more - I used real bacon crumbles. (Oh no, am I one of those people who totally changes a recipe into something different? I didn't mean to!) made for Culinary Quest 2014
