Preparation

Active
-
Ready In
- 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.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard (or spinach) and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. 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.
- Tip: Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta in the Italian section of most supermarkets.

Really good. Used Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi and added a little spice too. Excellent. I make it often.

Only change was baby spinach because store was out of Swiss chard. This recipe is now a staple and favorite in our house. I love it because it is like the Italian peasant food I was brought up on. Thank you for an excellent recipe!!

Big fan of this dish! Has become a regular when we want pasta, but something that's nutritious as well.

Made this last night. Got great reviews from the family.
Added garlic floured sautéed chicken breast cubes (did these first then the gnocchi and added them at the end) for my teenage son who craves meat.
This recipe would have been fine without the addition. It is hearty and flavorful

I made this recipe last week.
I substituted chard with arugula (chard didn't look good in the market!) And used smoked Mozzarella.
Served it with a shaved Parmesan and fennel sauce with dill/lemon dressing.
It was a hit :-)

I like this recipe. It turned out well and the end product looked exactly as the picture. I would make it again, but please note that it's a heavier dish.

The only thing i changed was adding some Cajun seasoning and served over brown rice. Delicious...

I made this recipe using the ingredients listed. The cheeses mix with the liquid and make a creamy sauce. This is one of my go-to vegetarian recipes. Love it.

I used fresh tomatoes and cooked dried beans rather than canned. I added a bit of Italian dressing seasoning (Good Seasons) with the fresh tomatoes. Delicious!
