Extremely good and very easy to make, this dish is great for a normal meal, or to impress guests. Don't let the lack of a traditional "sauce" scare you away. You won't miss it in the least.
Cook gnocchi according to package instructions, omitting any required salt, oil or fat. Drain the cooked gnocchi in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Keep the gnocchi warm.
Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over a medium-high burner. Add pancetta and saute for 2-3 minutes until browned. Use a slotted spook to transfer the cooked pancetta to a paper-towel lined plate, but keep the pancetta drippings in the skillet.
Add shallots and asparagus to pan and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and the shallots are semi-transparent. Stir in the garlic and saute for another minute. Add the gnocchi, pancetta, reserved cooking liquid, lime juice, salt and pepper to the skillet. Cook for one minute or until mixture is piping hot, taking care not to scorch or overheat the gnocchi.
Serve gnocchi topped with shaved parmesan cheese.
