Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Asiago can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Cook gnocchi according to package directions; drain.
  3. Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large ovenproof or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain; reserve drippings. When cool enough to handle, crumble bacon. Set aside.

  5. Add the gnocchi, 3/4 cup asiago, milk and reserved bacon; lightly toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining asiago.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley and thyme if desired.

Cheesemonger Tip

Select for cheesemonger info

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Asiago cheese is aged to develop sharp, buttery and nutty flavors that resemble a cross between aged cheddar and parmesan. For easier handling, bring asiago to room temperature before grating.
