Step 1

Begin by cooking the gnocchi according to package instructions, then drain and set aside (estimated time: 3-5 minutes).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally (estimated time: 5 minutes).

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is crispy and golden brown (estimated time 3-4 minutes)

Step 5

Once the gnocchi is crispy, remove the skillet from the heat and add the butter and chopped parsley. Toss the gnocchi until the butter is melted and the parsley is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
