Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted. (NOTE: Save softened butter for step 3.) Add gnocchi, then toss to coat. Add 2 tbsp water. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook gnocchi in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp water per batch.) Cover and cook until gnocchi softens, 4-5 min. When soft, remove cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Transfer gnocchi to a plate.
Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium. While the pot heats, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces. When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions.

Meanwhile, toast ciabatta in the top of the oven until golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on ciabatta so they don't burn!)Halve garlic bread. Divide gnocchi between bowls. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and any remaining chili flakes, if desired. Serve garlic bread alongside.
