Gnocchi with Asparagus and Bacon

"A delightful gnocchi dinner with asparagus and bacon that's ready in 30 minutes. Prosciutto or turkey pastrami wouldn’t go wrong with this recipe, too."

NotesIf you are not a big fan of cooking with wine, reserve 1/4 cup of the gnocchi water as the cooking liquid. Bacon can be substituted for prosciutto or turkey pastrami.
