Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions or until they float to the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain the cooked gnocchi and set aside.
Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
