1. Put a pan of salted water on to boil for the gnocchi. Meanwhile, slice the spring onions and blue cheese. Spoon the mascarpone into a large deep frying pan. Add the blue cheese and spring onions and leave to melt over a medium heat.
2. Stir the mascarpone mixture. Tip the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
3. Add the spinach in large handfuls to the cheese mixture and stir until just wilted. Crumble in half the bacon. Skim the gnocchi from the pan with a draining spoon, stir into the cheese mixture, then crumble over the remaining bacon. Serve with salad and crusty bread.

Different cheeses

Swap the blue cheese for brie, if you prefer

  A fantastic tasting, dead easy recipe. I've found it'll freeze fine too, so make double!

  This is really easy and quick and tastes scrummy. My boyfriend thinks he has died and gone to heaven every time he eats it! I normally substitute the bacon for wafer thin smoked ham. It is rich though so don't eat too much!

  I cooked this for vegetarian and non vegatarian friends. I served half of it to the 2 veggies before I added the bacon and then added the bacon for the other 2 portions. Everyone enjoyed it and it was a very quick and easy recipe to do. I also added acouple of twists of black pepper. Nutmeg might be nice with it too.

  Ace recipe! This is partner Robs dish now after he had to get off his lazy @ss and make it when i was busy! He made it in ten and he now thinks hes Mr Ramsey! Well, we won't go that far as it's not his own recipe but i was very impressed. Made twice now with both the dolcelatte and briw, gorgeous both times, i prefer the brie but Rob prefers the bluey so whatever you fancy, goes down lovely with garlic chiabattas and salad! Will make over and over again!

  This is a lovely concept which can be easily adapted. I added mushrooms, and replaced the spring onions with onion and the fresh spinach with frozen as it was what I had in, and it still worked out great! Don't add any salt though, whatever you do! Very calorific, so not something for everyday, but will definitely make again!

  I've made this tonnes of times. It's so quick and easy and it always goes down a treat! I substitute the spinach with peas though, which i find works better and add the juice of lemon which really makes it more yummy!
