Preheat your broiler to high (to broil the asparagus).
Wash and dry all produce.* Trim the bottom 1-inch from the asparagus and discard, then cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Mince or grate the garlic. Chop 1 1/2 tbsp tarragon leaves.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then the gnocchi. Cook, turning often, until the gnocchi is golden-brown, 7-8 min. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in two batches.) Transfer to a medium bowl.
Meanwhile, on a foil-lined baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil in the centre of the oven, stirring halfway through cooking, until golden-brown and tender, 4-5 min.
Add 2 tbsp butter to the same pan. Swirl the butter around the pan until it starts to foam, smells nutty and turns golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Watch it closely so it doesn't burn!) Remove the pan from the heat. Add the garlic and tarragon. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
Stir in the peas, asparagus, gnocchi, sour cream, half the Parmesan and 3 tbsp water into the pan with the brown butter sauce. Divide the gnocchi between plates, then sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan.
