Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
And its good for you Thought it looked too healthy, so I sliced up a couple of chicken/spinach/asiago sausages and added inoto the saute portion of the recipe. Great recipe to add your own twist on. A little red pepper and it's not bland. Personally, unlike others, I liked frying the gnocchi. They stuck a little for me, too. A little patience may help, as things usually release cleanly if they have browned enough, but I didn't care. It's all part of the fond and helped to thicken the sauce as well as add flavor. I wish all healthy recipes were this good. Pros: Healthy, but doesn't show it.
Tasty and easy - a good starterI made this last night for dinner and it was a great start. Prep time was less than 20 minutes, and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, maybe next time adding some pancetta or turkey sausage without the casings to kind of spice it up a bit. Also, I used 20 oz instead of 15 oz of diced tomatoes. Makes the leftovers that much more yummy.Pros: Quick prep time, inexpensiveCons: A little boring

Awesome! This recipe rocks! It's easy, delicious, and low in calories. It was my first time using gnocchi and like the previous reviewer I'm sold too! I used frozen spinach like most mentioned and it turned out great. Leftovers taste just as good too!

Gnocchi virgin! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. This was my first time EVER using gnocchi and I have to say I'm now sold! This recipe was super yummy and wonderfully easy to make. It is definitely part of our weekly dinner rotation from now on! I did use bagged baby spinach, mostly because I have no idea what chard is. I only had 1/2 bag left on hand, next time I'll make sure to use a whole bag. Pros: easy, fast, yummy
Very satisfying!I read Colleen's comment and took some of her tips into account, and had a satisfying result. I used spinach instead of chard (cheaper, more use for the leftover), found whole grain gnocchi, but still fried the gnocchi - and had the same result Colleen had. I wouldn't fry it again. I also boiled the sauce instead of frying it. The only other complaint I have is that it definitely wasn't 6 servings - I only got 3. Otherwise, this was great! I really enjoyed it and will definitely make it again. :)Pros: Tasty, easy to makeCons: could be cheaper, could be healthier

Things I would tweak about this This was yummy and satisfying but the next time I make it I will change two things: 1) instead of chard I will use plain old spinach - cheaper and less waste 2) I would like to try subbing whole wheat penne or a similar whole wheat pasta for the gnocchi, and avoid the pan-frying in oil as I found this was greasy and still stuck to the pan and was generally frustating...some cooked penne would be easier and less fat involved Pros: very satisfying Cons: not as low-fat as I would like
Quick, Little prep & delicious! This was such a easy quick meal! You really don't need much for a side, a light salad or even a chunk of good bread as it is quite filling. At first it looked a little on the runny side but as the the gnocchi was added to the sauce it thickened right up. A very hearty satisfying winter meal. I could see kids really enjoying this too with the melted cheese on top. I also used fresh spinach in place of chard as it wasn't available. Pros: very little prep, filling, and fast.
Interchangeable greens make this recipe so great! This recipe can be made with chard, spinach, escarole, any leafy green that you prefer! It is easy and delicious and kind on your calorie count. I make this often and enjoy it everytime. Pros: Quick, easy, delicious Cons: None
Love this recipe! I add kalamata olives to mine for flavor. It's the easist recipe in the world and clean-up is so easy...and you have lunch the next day. One of my favorite recipes. Thanks!

I made this before and my daughter and I both didn't really like the gnocchi. I made it again, subbing spinach for the chard, and instead of using gnocchi, I diced some fingerling potatoes and a red bell pepper and put them to roast on a cookie sheet in the oven until they were brown on the outside and mealy on the inside. I didn't add the additional water for the recipe and just stirred in the potatoes before serving. I also used fat free cheese. It was excellent! I will definitely make it thusly again and again!
I made this recipe for my parents and my mom made me save the recipe. She told my sister about it and now I have to make it for her when she comes in town. One of the best and easiest recipes I've ever used.

This is great and my kids loved it! I did not add the chard or spinach (my kids like their veggies raw). Next time I would reduce the amount of onion a little and finely chop it instead of slicing (more kid friendly). Great taste and super easy.

So delicious!! I don't buy swiss chard often, but my farmer's market had beautiful bunches of it, I couldn't resist. I came home and typed swiss chard in to the EatingWell search for ideas, and came across this recipe. It was easy to pull together, and my husband loved it! I love 1 pot meals!
My new comfort food! This was way to easy to make and taste so delicious, you don't even realize that there is no meat in this! Thanks for the recipe. I love this website.
This is the first recipe I made from this site. And wow!! What a way to start! It's SO EASY and CHEAP and DELICIOUS! And it's one of those meals that tastes even better the day after. I used frozen spinach instead of chard, and my 7 year old son told me this was his favorite thing I have ever cooked for him! He said he wanted it every night of the week! Hahaha. Thanks for the awesome recipe. I will definitely be making this regularly :]
Loved this recipe.......I served it with stirfried cabbage. in 1 tsp of oil, add some mustard leaves, shredded cabbage, and some harbenero peppers and salt. cook for 5 mins.
This is the first recipe from Eating Well that I've tried. I joined this website just so I can review this recipe and sing its praises! I LOVE IT. I have made this twice within the past four days. I used the Spinach instead of the Chard because I couldn't find Chard in my produce section. I love this dish *SO* much. I can't say enough. It's so delicious, and I'm trying to cut down on my meat intake and it's perfect because it's hearty and has everything in it...the gnocchi dumplings, beans, tomatoes, greens...everything. LOVE IT!
Great recipe. I would add one step. Cook gnocci in boiling water until they float, rinse in cold water, let cool completely and then cook in oil as specified. This way they puff up and have a better texture with a crispy outside. When you avoid this step, the gnocci are a bit hard an chewy. Use a mix of chard and spinach leaves.

Loved this recipe. I used the whole wheat gnocchi with roasted tomatoes as suggested and it turned out wonderful! My husband and father in law both got second helpings.

Super Yummy!!! Love it!
Thought this was a good, simple recipe. Easy to make w/easy to source ingredients. However, if you like spicy or very salty things (like me) this might be a tiny bit on the bland side (even with all the cheese on top). I ended up adding some hot sauce to my personal portion and might add some crushed red pepper the next time I attempt this recipe.
So easy - who knew you can buy shelf stable gnochi and they are yummy!

Wow! Can't wait to try this one! I'll try substituting Garbanzo beans too! I love Garbanzo beans!
This the first recipe I've tried from this site and I must say it is truly awesome. The flavor and juxtapositon of textrures are sublime. This will make the rotation of favorite tried and true dishes in my home.
This was so easy to make and delicious!

This is really good. The first time I made it, we couldn't find any chard-so we used arugula. Then next time, we used chard, which I found to be a little tough and a little bit bitter (maybe it was old? I've never had chard before). Anyway, I prefer the arugula. It's a nice filling recipe-we're using it to cut down on our meat consumption.

I thought this was really good. I did add red pepper for a little kick and used fire roasted tomatoes (added Italian seasoning myself) for a little more flavor. I also added a can of artichoke hearts for a little more substance and even my meat loving husband enjoyed it. Had leftovers for lunch today and it was just as good. Will definitely become a "Meatless Mondays" staple around our house.
The kids loved this one. They get excited every time they see gnocchi now.
This is a great dish. Very easy. I made it even healthier by using whole wheat/potato gnocchi and using less cheese (I used the 2% Italian blend) and just putting a small amount on each portion.. I also substituted a whole 5 oz. package of fresh baby spinach, b/c I had it on hand. Great pantry recipe to keep on hand. My sweetie loved it and loved that it was filling.

Just finished eating this dish. Chewy, gooey and delicious. The full-bodied white and a little extra Moz. 'kicked it up a notch'. I personally liked the amount of beans recommended. I'll be making this again.
This was very good. Great flavor. I had to buy frozen gnocchi so I followed the instructions on bag (to boil)and then added to the skillet. I was worried the portion wasn't enough but it filled me up. Ohioan, Columbus, Oh
I found this recipe in my email box on the same day I came home with a huge bunch of kale from the farmer's market - so I used that. Delicious! For faster preparation, I will use already washed baby spinach, but the dish was delicious with kale.
