So this was my first time to ever try gnocchi much less cook with it! I had no clue what it was until about two weeks ago when I was watching a cooking show on my lunch break at work. My friend Angelica mentioned one of her favorite dishes at the Olive Garden is a gnocchi dish so I was excited to try it for myself.
This dish turned out even better than I expected! It was pretty simple and it was delicious! I may have added a bit more cheese than it called for b/c I didn't measure, but either way I was really happy with how it turned out. Leftovers were just as good! Yum!
6 servings - only 325 calories per serving!
2 tbs olive oil, divided
1 16 oz package shelf-stable gnocchi
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz frozen chopped spinach (thawed in microwave)
15 oz can diced tomatoes w/Italian seasonings
15 oz can white beans, rinsed
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded park-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat 1 tbs oil in 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.
Add the remaining 1 tbs oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for additional 3 minutes. Add thawed spinach, tomatoes, beans, pepper and salt and bring to simmer. Stir in gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan. Cover and cook until cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
