Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 15 oz cannellini beans (white beans)
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the gnocchi to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside. Remove the gnocchi from the skillet and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), chicken or vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the baby spinach, a handful at a time, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the crispy gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes, until everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Skillet Gnocchi with Spinach and White Beans!
