Gnocchi with Spinach and Cannellini Beans Recipe

An easy, one-pot dish that is perfect for a cold winter night! Serve with a mixed greens salad (with your favorite Olive Tap Vinaigrette).

Ingredients:

  • 1 T. plus 1 t. your favorite of The Olive Tap’s 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 16-ounce package gnocchi
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 C. water
  • 6 C. chopped spinach (about 1 small bunch)
  • 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
  • 1 15-oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed
  • 1/4 t. freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 C. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 C. finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Heat 1 T. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 t. oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in tomatoes, beans and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
