Print Recipe

A comforting and flavorful vegetarian dish, this gnocchi is tossed with creamy white beans, tangy sun dried tomatoes, and fragrant garlic in a savory olive oil sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for vegan)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions (about 2-3 minutes) until they float. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped sun dried tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in white beans and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Add cooked gnocchi and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. If using, stir in red pepper flakes, spinach, and lemon juice. Cook until spinach wilts.
  8. Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

Roasting the gnocchi in olive oil before combining with the sauce adds a delicious crispy texture. Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi—they’re done as soon as they float!
