Method

  • For the Alfredo sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the cream cheese, garlic, milk and heavy cream.
  • Whisk the ingredients until smooth.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer as you continue to whisk.
  • Turn off the heat, and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Add a tablespoon of the alfredo to the beaten eggs and whisk vigorously.
  • Now add the eggs into the saucepan, whisking vigorously the entire time so that the eggs do not scramble.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • For the gnocchi bake: Preheat your oven to 350 F and spray a large baking dish with non-stick spray (I used a large oval baker but a deep 13x9 dish or a lasagna dish should also work).
  • Set aside.
  • Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • Into a large bowl, add the Alfredo sauce, sour cream, ricotta cheese, shredded chicken breast, Parmesan cheese, parsley and drained gnocchi.
  • Fold the ingredients together until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the fontina and mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle bacon, parsley and shaved Parmesan on top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
