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 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces gnocchi, shelf-stable (used sweet potato wheat)
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
15 ounces diced tomatoes
15 ounces white beans, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
  • Add the remaining oil and onion the pan and cook over medium heat for about 7 to 10 minutes, till soft and lightly caramelized. Stir in garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, tomatoes, beans, pepper to the onions and garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover just till cheese melts about 1 minute.
  • *optional version* Add reaming oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft about 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will help prevent the gnocchi from sticking together and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the gnocchi in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will also help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the gnocchi until they are golden brown: This will give them a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for Swiss chard, but you can use any type of vegetables that you like. Some other good options include spinach, kale, broccoli, or mushrooms.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make this dish more of a complete meal, you can add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This skillet gnocchi with white beans and chard is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is also a great way to use up leftover gnocchi. So next time you have some leftover gnocchi, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
