Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 16-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi, (see Tip)

  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup water

  • 6 cups chopped chard leaves, (about 1 small bunch) or spinach

  • 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings

  • 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard (or spinach) and cook, stirring, 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 mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
