- Once the marinara sauce is bubbling, place the lid on the pot and cook 2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes, remove the lid, stir the pot and add the drained and rinsed white beans, chopped spinach and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese. Stir well. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pot. Stir well. Add up to 1/4 cup more water as the gnocchi continues to cook, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.2 cup chopped baby spinach, ¾ cup water, 15.5 oz can white beans, ¼ cup parmesan cheese

Notes
Tips for success:
-
- Stir the gnocchi often to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot as they cook.
- You don’t need to pre-cook the gnocchi. They’ll cook quickly right in the sauce.
- The starch from the gnocchi will thicken the sauce, so add a little water as needed to get your preferred consistency.
