Vejledning

In a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon, turning occasionally, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, break into small, bite-size pieces.

Pour off excess fat into a small heatproof bowl, keeping enough to coat bottom of pan; reserve bacon fat for another use. Return pan to medium heat and add asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a medium bowl.

Pour oil into pan if pan looks dry and heat over medium heat. Cook shallot and thyme, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add gnocchi, cream, broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover pan, and cook 4 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened to desired consistency, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Remove pan from heat and stir in asparagus and Parmesan. Top with bacon and more thyme.
