SKILLET GNOCCHI WITH CHARD AND WHITE BEANS



Skillet Gnocchi With Chard and White Beans image

In this quick and easy one-skillet supper, toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it off with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette. NOTE: Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta in the Italian section of most supermarkets. I used mini potato gnocchi and arugula and it was delicious. I added the optional seasoning as my preference was a little more Italian flavor. Original recipe from EatingWell Magazine, Jan/Feb 2009.

Time 30m

Yield 6 1 1/2 cup servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable gnocchi
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water
6 cups chopped chard leaves (about 1 small bunch) or 6 cups baby spinach leaves
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes seasoned with basil garlic & oregano
1 (15 ounce) can white beans (I used cannelini or white kidney beans)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher sea salt
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, dried basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until gnocchi are plumped and starting to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chard (or spinach) and cook, stirring until the leaves start to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes, beans, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add optional seasoning if using.
  • Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve with a green side salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gnocchi: For the best results, use fresh or frozen gnocchi. If using dried gnocchi, be sure to cook it according to the package directions before adding it to the skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the gnocchi, be sure to work in batches so that the gnocchi has enough room to brown. Overcrowding the skillet will prevent the gnocchi from getting crispy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the gnocchi from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, be sure to grease the skillet well with olive oil before cooking the gnocchi.
  • Cook the gnocchi until it is golden brown: The gnocchi is done cooking when it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi, as it will become tough.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Serve immediately: Gnocchi is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm for a short period of time, you can cover it with aluminum foil.

Conclusion:

This skillet gnocchi with spinach and white beans is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The gnocchi is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spinach and white beans add a healthy dose of vegetables. This recipe is also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this skillet gnocchi recipe a try.
