Trim leek so you are only using the light green and white parts. Think slice the leek, wash slices, and dry.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain, and set aside. {I would cook the gnocchi while the bacon cooks.}

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until until crispy on both sides. Remove from pan to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Add leek slices to warm bacon fat, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until leeks being to soften. Add gnocchi to skillet and cook until slightly crisped. Remove skillet from heat. Add bacon back into skillet, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
