Gnocchi with Fresh Greens

16oz bag frozen gnocchi
2 Tbsp evoo
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
10-12 oz fresh spinach or swiss chard, well washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped
14-16 oz can diced tomatoes (Italian style if desired)

1. Cook the gnocchi.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot or steep-sided stir-fry pan. Saute the garlic over low heat until golden about 2 minutes.
3. Add the greens and cover. Steam using only the water clinging to the leaves until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook just until everything is heated through.
4. Combine the gnocchi with the greens mixture in a serving container and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.


I got this from "Vegetarian 5 Ingredient Gourmet" by Nava Atlas based on April's recommendation of the author. I enjoyed it the way it is, but since Mike is a meat-a-tarian I put in some grilled chicken for him.
