Ingredients
- 16 oz shelf-stable gnocchi I used Delallo Chickpea Gnocchi
- 16 oz marinara
- 2 cup chopped baby spinach
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 3/4 cup water start with 1/2 cup
- 15.5 oz can white beans great northern white, cannellini beans
Instructions
- Add gnocchi and marinara sauce to a skillet with a tight fitting lid. Turn the heat on medium and allow the sauce to start to bubble. Stir regularly (this typically takes 3-4 minutes).
- 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.
- Once the spinach is wilted, turn off the heat, chop the basil and serve by topping with remaining parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Notes
Tips:
- Stir gnocchi often so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot
- The starch from the gnocchi will thicken the sauce, so you will need to add water or the sauce will be too thick.
- You don't have to pre-cook the gnocchi, it cooks quickly in the sauce.
