Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans

From EatingWell: January/February 2009

In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.

READER'S COMMENT:

"Skillet Gnocchi is now one of my favorite go-to meals. Easy and delicious. I do usually use spinach, as opposed to chard (my husband dislikes it). It's great either way. "

Use your Senses

Great recipe to incorporate loads of vitamin A and potassium into your diet, while still tasting good. I do however have a few suggestions. First, use Vegetable Broth instead of water. This makes this recipe at least twice as good compared to plain water. Choose to lowered sodium variety to stay within the healthy realm. Second, use your senses to decide when the Kale has been wilted down enough. From my experience the cook times were at least twice as long to get the right texture and consistency needed in a proper vegetarian dish. Third, try the Whole Wheat with Sweet Potato gnocchi for an added degree of complexity coupled with extra health benefits. So would I cook this again? You betcha!

Pros: Easy, Single Skillet, Inexpensive, Easily found ingredients

Delicious! low star ratings are from spammers

Made this tonight for the first time. I followed the recipe exactly as written (using spinach instead of chard), and It was delicious! Low ratings for this recipe are from spammers and people who didn't follow the recipe. I hate it when people don't follow a recipe as it is written, and then give it a low rating. This was fast, easy, and delicious!

Pros: Fast, Easy, Delicious

No offense, but some folks

No offense, but some folks have different tastes. They may not be able to put to words exactly their experience, but some have legit complaints/concerns. One of the most common reviews is the recipe is bland. For people who are used to using a lot of spice and herbs in dishes this recipe would be bland and boring; there are no herbs or even salt used in the recipe. Salt livens flavor. Gnocci are potatoes and need salt or they are often bland, especially the crappy dried ones that need reconstituting. Peeps that don't agree with you aren't always idiots.

I adore Lacinato variety kale

I adore Lacinato variety kale (an Italian kale.) I grow it and store it to use in everything. I like the changes you made to the dish.. You can't go wrong with herbies. :)

Great Family Weeknight Meal

I've been using this recipe regularly for almost two years now and my whole family loves it. You have to use the amount of garlic and onion in the recipe to get maximum flavor. I use kale instead of spinach or chard because I like the way the kale holds up.

Pros: Easy, cheap, and tasty!
