Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut off the top of a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for 50 minutes until soft.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon strips until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, keeping the bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté diced shallots for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the skillet with shallots, pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, season, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add gnocchi to the sauce and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Reduce heat, stir in parsley and grated Parmesan until melted. Adjust seasoning and crumble reserved crispy bacon on top before serving.
