Ingredients (Total ~4.70 CHF – thanks Aldi):

• 450g of gnocchi = 1.4 CHF

• 100g of bacon = 1.27 CHF

• 3 pieces of honey goat cheese = 1.17 CHF

• 2 tbsp of crème fraîche = 0.7 CHF

• A drizzle of honey = 0.12 CHF

• Salt & pepper (pantry basics)

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon: In a pan, cook the bacon until crispy.

   

2. Boil the gnocchi: Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water — they’ll float once ready (takes about 2-3 minutes). Drain and keep a little cooking water aside.

1. Make the sauce: In the same pan, melt the goat cheese with the crème fraîche. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to get a silky texture. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Combine: Toss the gnocchi in the sauce, add the crispy bacon back in, and finish with a drizzle of honey on top. That sweet-salty combo is chef’s kiss

That’s it! Super easy, super comforting, and budget-friendly.
