Once boiling, add the potato gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Cherry Tomato Sauce
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and chopped garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
Add the quartered cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper to taste, and fresh oregano. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Fry the Bacon
In the same pan, add ½ tablespoon of olive oil.
Brown the bacon pieces, frying until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Olive Oil Herb Sauce
In a food processor, combine the dill, parsley, fresh basil, the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and the remaining clove of garlic. Blend briefly until the herbs are finely chopped.
