Heat a 30cm or 12" non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, and when the frying pan is hot, add the bacon in a single layer and cook until crispy, turning as required. Then set it aside on some kitchen paper, leaving the rendered-out fat in the pan.
This should take around 12-15 minutes.
Peel the shallot, cut it in half lengthways and then slice it into half-moon shapes as thinly as you can.
Peel and chop the garlic clove as finely as you can.
Peel the tough, leathery skin off the broad beans.
The bacon should now be crispy,
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the butter, garlic, shallot, and gnocchi, then fry until the gnocchi is nicely coloured, which should take 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the vermouth and cover the pan with a lid, then steam for 60-90 seconds.
Throw in the broad beans and saute for a further 90 seconds.
Add the grated parmesan cheese and toss until it has melted.
Crumble in the bacon just before serving, garnish with parmesan shavings and chopped parsley.
