We use just a touch of pancetta—cured Italian-style bacon—to balance the sweet tomatoes and peppery watercress. Make it a meal: A salad tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette completes dinner.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 ounces  pancetta, chopped
3 cloves  garlic, minced
2   large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 teaspoon  sugar
1/4 teaspoon  crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons  red-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon  salt
1 pound  gnocchi (see Tip)
4 ounces  watercress, tough stems removed, coarsely chopped (6 cups packed)
1/3 cup  freshly grated parmesan cheese

Tip: We like the texture of "shelf-stable" prepared gnocchi found in the Italian section of most supermarkets, but frozen and fresh refrigerated gnocchi also work well here.

DIRECTIONS
Put a large pan of water on to boil.


Cook pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, sugar and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are almost completely broken down, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt. Remove from the heat.


Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float, 3 to 5 minutes or according to package directions. Place watercress in a colander and drain the gnocchi over the watercress, wilting it slightly. Add the gnocchi and watercress to the sauce in the pan; toss to combine. Serve immediately, with Parmesan.

Delicous! See all of Gloria's reviews »
I used 4 oz of packaged diced pancetta because I didn't want to waste it and 1/2 tsp of crushed rep pepper to make it a little spicier. This recipe is extremely simple and quick. My husband and I couldn't believe how delicious it was.
