Fried Gnocchi with Greens and White Beans

This dish is well worth the effort! I made it for my parents, and my mom made me write down the recipe. She told my sister about it, and now I have to make it for her too whenever she visits. One of the best and easiest recipes I've ever used.

  • First, make the gnocchi: wash 2 lbs (1 kg) of potatoes, boil them in salted water, peel, and mash. Lightly salt the mash and knead it, gradually working in flour (you'll need about 1 3/4 cups / 250 g of flour per 2 lbs of potatoes) until you have a smooth, uniform dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Roll the dough into a rope about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick, dust it with flour, and cut it into pieces about 1 inch (2–3 cm) long. If you like, press each piece against the tines of a fork to give it those classic ridges. Now for the fun part. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring, until they start to develop a nice golden crust, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the onion to the skillet and fry, stirring, over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and a splash of water. Cover and let it simmer until the onion softens, 4 to 6 minutes. Now add the beet greens or spinach (or both), stirring into the onion and garlic, and cook until the leaves start to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, beans, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan, cover again, and cook until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Your gnocchi are ready to serve! The dish isn't just delicious — it's good for you too, with vitamins A (50%) and C (40%), plus calcium and iron (19%).
