Add the radishes, sugar snap peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the peas are bright green and crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove from the heat and gently stir until the gnocchi are well coated and the cheese melts, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Top each serving with shaved parmesan.
