Spicy Baked Gnocchi with Bacon

Pasta alla bechamel is Giada’s all-time favorite pasta dish, and this spicy baked gnocchi with bacon is kicked up a notch. Lusciously creamy with gooey fontina cheese, it’s a perfectly decadent meal for an occasion. Calabrian chili paste gives it a zingy warmth throughout, without being overwhelmingly spicy (but if you’re making this for a heat enthusiast, feel free to add more of it!). Bake it all in the oven until it’s golden-brown bubbly perfection for a show stopping main course. 

The beauty of this recipe is that you can assemble it a day or two ahead of time if needed, and throw it in the oven when it’s time to eat.
