I made this last night for poker night with my buddies - they complained a bit about SPINACH, FOR GOD'S SAKE WITH POKER but after they cleaned it all up they said it was pretty good.
1 tbls. plus 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 16 oz. pkg. shelf stable gnocchi (potato noodles)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of water
6 cups of spinach, chopped
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
1 15 oz. can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Heat 1 tbls. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tsp. oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring over medium heat for two minutes. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with the cheeses. Cover and simmer until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
Serve in soup bowls with flavored crackers and more Parmesan for topping.
This is really good and filling. The operative word is HEALTHY..............
