Save time (and dishes) with this quick and easy dinner recipe. Skillet Gnocchi is a great tasting meal—and you only need one skillet to make it! Beans and veggies make it healthy, and with saucy tomatoes and melted cheese, it's something kids will love, too. Hearty and filling, our Skillet Gnocchi delivers a plateful of nutrients. Gnocchi is an Italian dumpling made from potato, semolina or flour. We've used navy beans in our skillet. This versatile bean is a good natural source of fiber and protein. Our Skillet Gnocchi calls for chard leaves, but you can use any of your favorite greens, like spinach or kale. Diced tomatoes are a key ingredient, along with basil and garlic. Garlic powder combines with peppercorns, fresh onions and mozzarella and parmesan cheeses for a rich flavor. With these healthy ingredients and just 20 minutes, you can have a great-tasting meal that leaves you feeling full, satisfied and with very few dishes to clean up!
