Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Add the broccoli to a small baking tray & toss with 1 tbsp olive oil & 1/4 tsp salt & pepper. Roast in the oven for ABOUT 15-18 minutes, or until LIGHTLY charred & fork tender.
  3. Add the bacon to a large pan over medium heat & fry until crispy. Remove the bacon & place to one side, leaving the excess drippings in the pan. Add the shallots & mushrooms. Fry until mushrooms have released their moisture & shallots are tender-crisp.
  4. Pour in the broth then stir in the Boursin until it melts. Stir in the cream & parmesan, then gently simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. During this time bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi & cook for 1 minute, then use a slotted spoon to transfer it into the sauce. Stir to coat the gnocchi in the sauce, then stir in the bacon & broccoli. Turn the heat to low; gently stir for another minute or so until the sauce re-thickens. If it over-thickens at any point just stir in a splash of the leftover gnocchi water.
  6. Check for seasoning & adjust if needed, then serve with fresh parsley if you desire.
