  1. Cook the bacon bits in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until golden brown; remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain the grease. Discard the bacon grease from the skillet.

  3. Add the remaining butter, skillet gnocchi and tomatoes then cook, stirring occasionally for 4 minutes. 
  4. Add the baby spinach, minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
