Preparation steps

Step 1
In a large non-stick skillet, add the bacon lardons and cook until crispy (5 to 10 minutes).
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Dice the bell pepper, mince the garlic, and add them to the skillet.
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Step 4
Add the cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, and oregano. Sauté the spices for 1 minute to release their aromas and coat the vegetables well.
Step 5
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir well.
Let it simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
In another skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the gnocchi and cook until they are golden and crispy on the outside, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
Finally, add the pan-fried gnocchi to the creamy spiced sauce and stir well to coat everything.
Serve immediately, with grated Parmesan and a bit of fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
