These Carbs Don't Count
June 6, 2025
This Gnocchi Mac & Cheese with Pancetta is a rich, creamy twist on a classic. Crispy pancetta adds savory depth to the luscious cheese sauce, while pillowy gnocchi replaces traditional pasta for an extra indulgent bite. Finished with mozzarella on top and optionally broiled to golden perfection, this dish is everything you love about mac and cheese—just elevated.
