“Oh my… the flavours in this bacon and tomato keto gnocchi! I used smoked bacon lardons because they are chunkier (and fattier) than simply dicing up thin bacon rashers yourself. They also render so much glorious fat and flavour when frying up, and this is key to this dish. The tomatoes add lovely sweet acidity. If you can manage 9.9g carbs per serving, this will sufficiently feed 2 people. But it is very rich and filling, so you could divide this into 4 smaller servings and halve the macros accordingly. In this recipe, I use “gnocchi” made from almond flour, but if you prefer a nut-free version, I have a fabulous Cheesy Gnocchi in my second book Lazy Keto Kitchen (2021).” – Monya

To start, I create the gnocchi using fathead dough, a versatile keto-friendly alternative. Next, I cook up a mixture of bacon and garlic, then stir through diced tomatoes.
This mouth-watering dish is high in healthy fats, low in carbohydrates, and bursting with rich flavours. The creamy mozzarella-based dough provides the perfect texture, while the savoury bacon, pungent garlic, and sweet tomatoes come together harmoniously to create a sensational keto-friendly experience.
This is a delightful way to enjoy a comforting Italian dish while staying true to your low-carb lifestyle. Buon appetito!

Bacon & Tomato Gnocchi
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- Keto Gnocchi, Fats of Life recipe
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
- 200 g (7.1 oz) smoked bacon lardons
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 100 g (3.5 oz) cherry tomatoes, chopped small
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Parmesan, finely grated
- finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the gnocchi as per the FOL Keto Gnocchi recipe on this site. As mentioned in that recipe, drizzle a little olive oil over and set aside to keep warm if you have not yet made your sauce.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan and add the smoked bacon lardons. Cook over a low-moderate heat until the bacon renders all its fat and juices. Add the garlic and stir continuously until the garlic softens too. (We add the garlic later as it tends to burn very quickly and will turn your batch bitter.)
- Stir in the diced cherry tomatoes and gently warm them through, cooking for only another minute.
- Tip the mixture into the bowl of warm gnocchi and gently toss to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Scatter over the finely grated Parmesan. Finish with chopped parsley.
