Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz gnocchi
  • 15.5 oz can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 4 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil julienned
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they just begin to float. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil (from the sun-dried tomatoes works great) over medium heat.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cannellini beans. Cook for 5 minutes to develop flavor.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper.
  6. Stir in the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted and everything is well combined.

Notes

Don’t overcook gnocchi - pull them right when they float. 
Use the sun-dried tomato oil for extra flavor. 
Add more broth for a slightly saucier consistency. 
Finish with lemon juice or red pepper flakes for brightness.
