Ingredients

  • 4 slices uncooked bacon
  • 1 17-oz pkg potato gnocchi
  • 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-4 tbsp reserved bacon grease
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 ½ cups frozen peas thawed
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Cook the bacon until browned and crisp on both sides. Once cooked, lay the bacon on paper towels and reserve the rendered bacon grease.
    4 slices uncooked bacon
  • Prepare the gnocchi and vegetables: Place the gnocchi and the sliced shallot in a large bowl. Trim the dry ends off the asparagus, removing about 1 inch. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 ½ inches in length. Add the asparagus to the bowl. Add the lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves. Drizzle the asparagus and gnocchi with the reserved bacon grease. Toss the mixture to coat everything evenly and spread it into an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  • Roast: Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast until the asparagus is crisp-tender and the gnocchi are plump, 20-25 minutes.
  • Finish and serve: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the peas over the hot pan. The residual heat will warm the peas. Crumble the bacon over the gnocchi and sprinkle with lemon juice and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Use shelf-stable potato gnocchi straight from the package. Do not boil it first; it cooks on the sheet pan.
