This is the perfect easy weeknight dinner. The gnocchi is cooked with tomatoes, spinach, and white beans in one pan. Of course, I also make it super cheesy with parmesan and mozzarella!
Start by heating 1 Tablespoon oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the gnocchi and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown. Transfer the gnocchi to a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and broth.
Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes until the onion is soft.
Add the spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until it has wilted.
Stir in the tomatoes, beans, pepper and bring to a simmer.
Add the gnocchi, parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir.
Cover and cook until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted.
Of course, mine need a little more parmesan on top!
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (16 oz) package gnocchi
1 medium onion; chopped
4 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 (5 0z or 142 g) fresh spinach
1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning
1 (15 oz) can white beans; rinsed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Heat 1 T oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown; 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring over medium heat for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and broth. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4-6 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans, pepper, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with both cheeses. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

this looks so good! we don’t do gnocchi much at our house, but now i’m inspired. 🙂 question – is your husband a vegetarian? if not, does he ever add in meat to your dishes?

I love gnocchi! Jason ate meat for the first year of our marriage, but he’s been a vegetarian for 6 years now. It would be easy to add a chicken breast and make a chicken parm.

Wow! That looks sssoooo fantastic – I’ve just had my dinner and now want Gnocchi. My family aren’t big on it cause they say it tastes like funny potatoes (we are Irish). I’m going to do this recipe and convert them. Thanks

I made your gnocchi recipe last night and it was delish!! Super easy one pot wonder. I modified it a bit by adding some extra seasoning, a little left over pasta sauce I had laying around, and I didn’t have beans so I just left them out. It was so yummy and filling even without the beans! Loved it! Thanks for sharing. Good luck in Boston!
