Ingredients

• 500 grams potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
• 400 grams cooked white beans (cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 4 cups Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
• 0.5 cups vegetable broth
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to release their juices.

Step 4

Stir in the white beans and chopped Swiss chard. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the chard wilts.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Return the crispy gnocchi to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 7

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
