Ingredients

  • 1 pound packaged gnocchi
  • 1 can chickpeas, with liquid
  • 2 packages frozen mixed greens
  • about 2/3 cup mushroom spaghetti sauce, any good homestyle brand
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • scant 1 teaspoon whole rosemary leaf, crushed with fingers
  • 2 to 3 - sage leaves, minced
  • - canned or homemade vegetable broth
  • - cayenne to taste
  • 2 to3 tablespoons olive oil

How To Make gnocchi, greens & chickpeas in spicy tomato broth

  • Step 1
    In a large saucepan, cook gnocchi according to package directions in just enough vegetable broth to cover--this generally only takes a couple minutes, max.
  • Step 2
    Drain, reserving broth. Heat olive oil oil in a NONSTICK skillet,and brown gnocchi lightly. Last minute or two of cooking (not earlier!), add garlic.
  • Step 3
    Return gnocchi, broth, garlic and oil to saucepan. Add remaining ingredients, plus a little more veggie broth if needed or desired (i.e., if you want soup.) Simmer till greens are tender but not overcooked. Adjust seasonings and serve in bowls.
