Asiago Gnocchi Bake

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350ºF.
2. Cook gnocchi according to package directions; drain.
3. Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large, ovenproof or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain; reserve drippings. When cool enough to handle, crumble bacon. Set aside.
4. Cook and stir mushrooms in bacon drippings in the same pan over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
5. Add the gnocchi, 3/4 cup asiago, milk and reserved bacon; lightly toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining asiago.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley and thyme if desired.
