Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and cook until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add the entire 1-pound package of shelf-stable gnocchi directly to the skillet (do not boil first). Cook, stirring gently, until the gnocchi start to crisp and turn golden, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in ¼ cup dry white wine and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
-
Step 4.
Add 5 ounces baby spinach a handful at a time, gently stirring until each batch wilts, about 2 to 3 minutes total.
-
Step 5.
Add ⅓ cup drained and coarsely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes and 1 (15-ounce) can drained and rinsed cannellini or great northern beans. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Splash with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and season to taste with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
-
Step 7.
Top with ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese before serving.
