Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans

Very hearty - good for those "no meat Mondays." I was a little concerned about not boiling the gnocchi first but just browning it in the sauté pan - this does not cook it completely, but it cooks through and becomes tender when you add it back to the pan at the end of the process. Used broth instead of water, added a splash of red wine vinegar at the end for a little acidity (always use vinegar when I'm making chard, spinach or kale) and added capers and olives just to have a bit more interest to the dish. I used the Italian cheeses but I think goat or feta would have been good too - making it more greek than italian. Very tasty, very flexible.

With modifications, this is definitely a 5 star recipe! It didn't make sense to me to only saute the onions for 2 minutes and then add water; I salted them & cooked them way longer to give a little more depth of flavor, and sauteed the garlic for about 30 seconds before adding the liquid (I used broth instead of water). I also added red pepper flake for a little extra kick. I LOVE this approach to cooking gnocchi; the browning really takes the flavor and texture up several notches. Great, healthy, flavorful dish - I'll be making again and again!

As another reviewer mentioned, I sauteed the onions until translucent - rather then steaming them until tender. Then added the garlic, and then added the water. I followed the recipe on cooking the gnocchi (saute then simmer) and it turned out well. I loved that there was lots of greens - the gnocchi is not a star in this dish, but a player in a well-balanced quartet. Very easy and tasty and flexible; I will make this one again.

This dish was so comforting and sooooooo good. It tasted so rich, flavorful and satisfying. I used kale instead of chard and it was fantastic. Just make sure to pull out the stems of the kale. Enjoy!

Will make again! Added Italian sausage this time, plan to try sliced sausage link next time... can't do the vegetarian thing. Used green Swiss chard as I find it has a less earthy taste than kale or spinach. I also used a bit of chicken bullion granules with the water but it added too much salt so I will try a low sodium broth and a little red pepper flakes next time for a little extra something. Great weeknight recipe since it was really quick even with the extra cooking time for the ground sausage but using a precooked link would cut down the time and extra dishes. Thanks for a great intro gnocchi recipe!

This recipe is easy and exceptionally delicious. Even with my lack of experience cooking gnocchi I was able to cook this and presented like I have been doing it for years. I would highly recommend cooking and serving immediately because I believe the spinach freshly wilted would be best. However, when I heated this up the next day, I realized it was just as delicious. I added a low-fat hot turkey sausage that I crumbled and it was so complementary to the flavors of the dish. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Very good and very easy. I used red chard and other than omitting the beans (since I didn't have any on hand) made exactly to recipe. The salt in the cheese was enough- nothing else needed. Will definitely make this again!

I am a carnivore and I LOVE this recipe. So filling and flavorful - and healthy! I use bagged spinach. Also - this is the first recipe my son (16) ever "cooked". It's that easy! :)

This was sooooooooo good! Made it just as written and loved it. Very flavorful and healthy. I will be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe with the exception of omitting the tomatoes, because my husband is not a fan. This pasta was so good! We all loved it and will definitely make again.

Excellent! Pretty much followed the recipe except that I added a splash of white wine vinegar and fresh basil from the garden. Will definitely be making this again soon!

I made my own gnochi which didn't work. I am going to make this again using store bought gnochi.

This was easy and so delicious. I tweaked it my third time making it, added some fresh basil. A wonderful one pan dish for camping trips.

My husband and I love this recipe!! It's now one of our favorites. It's fast and easy to make, very tasty!

This has become a go-to recipe for my family and we absolutely love it. Inexpensive, healthy and tasty; can

I cooked the gnocchi for longer than specified. After 7 mins, I tried one, and it didn't seem cooked enough, so I sauteed them in the pan while I cooked the other ingredients in a pot until they were nice and golden. This seemed to cook them through. I also cooked my onions longer because I always cook them until they start to turn translucent. I couldn't find chard at my local grocery, but a pack of chard, spinach, kale, and shredded carrots. I think that turned out well. I think there's room here to play with the seasonings. I will probably make this again.

Delicious! Very hearty. Great comfort food. This was a home run with the family. I will definitely make it again!

Turned out really good! We added some diced chicken breast to it.

I followed others suggestions. I used broth instead of water, added some black olives and capers, gave it a splash of white wine and substituted a mixture of kale, collard, mustard & turnip greens. It was fantastic!

This was yummy! Loved the browned gnocchi! I did cook the onions longer and then added the garlic for the last couple of minutes before adding the veg broth ( instead of water). I added the tomato and beans then a mixture of gouda and parm. I did take a suggestion and added olives and capers just because we love them....but I think it would be just as good either way. Tossed in a bag of baby spinach ( I just can't bring myself to like kale) turned off the heat and mixed it till nicely wilted. Thank you!!

Family favorite. We sometimes add italian sausage if we are in the mood for meat.

Pretty awful. Starchy , heavy, too much tomato.trashed it Would not make again. I had to give it one star as not allowed to give zero stars. You really need to add that rating

Very good. Super easy to make.

So delicious and easy! I will be making this again for sure.

Great recipe. I did half the vinegar and broth. Perfect. I agree...the gremalata is worth the effort!

Never made gnocchi before, this recipe was delicious, satisfying, and low in calories!

Made this tonight. We both really liked it-particularly with the addition of SJRJA'S suggestions. Also added a little basil, oregano and anchovy paste. Used the goat cheese crumbles and it was nice and creamy. Will make again.

Made this once a few months ago and has since become mine and my boyfriend's favorite gnocchi recipe. it's extremely flavorful and has room for some tweaks. sometimes we used crushed tomato and it comes out amazing.

I love this recipe, as does everyone who I have served it to. I make it with no changes.

Good also with kidney beans (we didn't have any white beans on hand).

I used this as a guideline and added my own ingredients since I cannot eat tomatoes, onions or garlic right now. I boiled my gnocchi, baked and chopped some chicken breast, then stir fried chard and mushrooms with canellini beans, then combined them with the gnocchi. I used Prego alfredo sauce over the top. Everyone loved it and would like me to make it again. It was pretty simple to do too.

This was pretty easy to make and yummy. I liked how the gnocchi was browned first!

Very easy recipe that was a hit with the whole family. Hearty enough that you don’t even notice it’s vegetarian. I substituted chopped spinach for the chard and added extra cheese on top.

I made this dish last night. I thought that it was fabulous. The only thing that I did differently, was bake it in the oven for 20 min. at 400 degrees. The reason being, that I already had roasted cauliflower in the oven at 400 degrees. Otherwise, I would have baked it for maybe 30 to 40 minutes at 350. I plan on making this again.

Quick to put together. Added some Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper for flavor. Still a bit bland. But colorful and loaded with nutrition and potential.

Nice taste and filling. I added some turkey meatballs for some added protein but think it would be good with sausage or chicken too. Used broth instead of water.

Easy to make. Perfect for the greens you ment for salads but didnt get to.

Made as written but used Vegan Mozzarella and Nutritional Yeast (Parmigiana substitute) since my husband is Vegan. Very yummy! Will definitely make this again and may try adding some Sun Dried Tomato’s next time.

Added mushrooms. Super easy and quick great texture with the spinach (if not cooked to long)

This turned out wonderfully! I loved it. I used broth instead of water as well and added spinach. Highly recommend.

Loved it! I doubled the batch and thought if any family member were to walk by and see how much chard and spinach is going into the pot they would never eat it!! Well it all cooks down and they will never know :) We are all meat lovers, so I added ground sausage to the meal, a little Italian seasoning, and some extra cheese on top. It was a hit, and the fam voted it was a keeper!

made it for the first time just like the recipe substituting freshly made gnocchi. It was good but a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll make it and use chicken broth instead of the water, and likely and some red pepper flakes.

So delicious and filling! A great comfort food!

Fantastic! The only change I made was to add some chicken bouillon powder to the water to give some salt and flavor to it. We ate WAY too much of this.

Family favorite. We sometimes add italian sausage if we are in the mood for meat.

Very good and super easy.

This was an instant family favorite because it's quick, healthy, and delicious. The browned gnocchi is so good I have a hard time not eating it all before the rest is finished.

Very very good! You can use this recipe as a base and tweak it by using diced potatoes instead of gnochi or add rice or quinoa. My kids enjoyed sprinkling their own cheese on top at the end.

WOW. Delish! I used the ingredients listed only increased the cooking time of the onion and garlic and used s spinach instead of chard. I used what I had on hand. The textures work well together and it looks appetizing with the different colors from all the ingredients

I’ve made this several times and it’s been delicious each time.

Pretty awful. Starchy , heavy, too much tomato.trashed it Would not make again. I had to give it one star as not allowed to give zero stars. You really need to add that rating

I made this with pancetta from Aldi and it was awesome! I sautéed the onions and garlic longer than recipe called for and I used baby spinach. Very easy recipe and will definitely make again.

Made it exactly as directed. I was a little worried that there wasn't salt added but after making it, it really doesn't need any! Perfectly flavorful as is!

I really enjoyed this dish. I thought it had good flavors, a good mix of ingredients, and was quite filling. I did add salt , but otherwise made the recipe as written.

Super simple and easy. Made exactly as written except omitted onions and was flavorful and quite good. Can def be a great base too for adding mushrooms and sausage and other ingredients as you please. One pan meals are the best and this one is a keeper.

I enjoyed this meal and so till my 14 month old. I used feta for the cheese and frozen spinach instead of chard. I let it simmer for a little while long. It turned out a bit soggy but very filling.

Very good. Although I made a few changes. I added some italian sausage so it was no longer a veggie dish.I just removed the casings and cut the sausage into small pieces and put them in the pan with the onions. But I'm sure it would still be great without it. i just had to use up what I had in the fridge. I also only had a can of crushed tomatoes not diced. So since I had lots of tomatoes from my garden I chopped some of them up and threw them in. As well as halved cherry tomatoes. Everything else remained the same. I would make this again.

My sister and I did not like this dish. It’s not terrible and I will finish the food that we cooked. I feel that the Gnocchi does not go with this recipe.

We did not like this at all. Followed recipe exactly, but it was very bland.

I love the flavors of this dish, and it's easy to make. A perfect weeknight meatless dinner!

This was hearty and surprisingly filling for a meatless dish. 4 stars as is. Next time I will follow others' suggestions and use broth and some vinegar for a little extra flavor. I did include the chard stems -- chopped them up and sautéed them with the onions so as not to waste them. Very tasty!

Loved this recipe, but tweaked it just a bit. I added celery with the onions, used chicken stock in place of water, and also added cooked shredded chicken, paprika, and chili powder. I topped it with mozzarella and crumbled goat cheese and it melted in to give it a great flavor. Yum!!

I added some orzo pasta to mine to add a little substance and since I am not a vegetarian would definitely add some chicken next time! Super quick and simple - loved how it made the gnocchi turn out. My only note would be that it’s a bit of a “blank slate” when it comes to seasonings - I added some red pepper flakes and wished I’d added more. Would def make again!

One of the most satisfying and delicious dishes ever! My deepest thanks to the poster.
My mods were few:
1)Used frozen spinach that I squeezed as dry as possible until I broke my damn colander 😳
2) Added red pepper flakes
It blew me away when this meatless dish drew my husband back for seconds.
