Authentic Italian Flavors

Bringing the authentic flavours of Italian cuisine to your family table is now easier with the help of Olivieri® pasta and sauces. This Skillet Gnocchi Carbonara recipe requires few ingredients and little cooking time, but is sure to deliver irresistible taste in every bite!

Olivieri® Classic Potato Skillet Gnocchi are sautéed in bacon fat until golden brown and then tossed with ready-made Alfredo Sauce, Parmesan cheese and pepper to marry all the flavours together. To take things up a notch, try swapping in guanciale for bacon, a cured meat from the jowl of the pig that’s commonly used in the traditional Italian recipe, or pancetta.
