Recipes that only require one pot automatically get brownie points with me. There’s nothing more irritating than looking around your kitchen after fixing dinner and realizing you’ve dirtied up 4 or 5 pots. If a recipe is a one pot meal and it’s quick, double brownie points. Gnocchi is one those things everyone should keep in their pantry. For one thing, it’s a carb-aholics dream but more importantly it can be mixed with 2 or 3 ingredients and bam, you have a meal.

 

Skillet Gnocchi with Spinach and Chickpeas

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 16-ounce package gnocchi
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic diced fine
  • 1/2 dry white wine
  • 6 cups spinach
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda

Instructions

  1. Heat skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Saute gnocchi in skillet until lightly brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add remaining olive oil to skillet. Add onion a stir for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and wine. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes.
  3. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the spinach and gnocchi and sprinkle with smoked gouda. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling and spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.

    I love Olive Garden’s Gnocchi Soup! I’ve never cooked with gnocchi before and have been looking for a recipe to try. I think I’ll save this one. Thanks for sharing at Chic on a Shoestring!

    I agree with you, some recipes are so fuzzy, you end up cleaning a total mess before you are able to enjoy your meal. This meal is easy and looks absolutely delicious!
