Method:
- In a pan over a medium heat, add the bacon lardons and dry fry until crispy, then set aside. In the same pan, add the Napolina Olive Oil and shallots and sweat for a few minutes until softened.
- Then add the Napolina Chilli & Garlic Flavour Booster and vodka, stirring well until smooth. Pour in a ladle of the reserved pasta water, followed by the butter beans, and mix well.
- Next, fold in the Napolina Gnocchi, fresh basil and Parmigiano Reggiano, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve into bowls and top with a few extra basil leaves. Scatter the crispy bacon lardons over each bowl and finish with a pinch of chilli flakes if you’d like an extra kick of heat.
