Quick Veggie Gnocchi

Store bought gnocchi is transformed with lots of veggies in this easy weeknight meal. From the time you turn the stove top on, you can easily be eating in 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • 1 heaping cup mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 1 cup orange bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 500 g package gnocchi
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated parmesan to serve

Instructions

  • Heat oil and garlic in a medium to large sized frying pan on medium heat
  • Once oil is hot and garlic is beginning to become fragrant, add onion
  • Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes
  • Add orange pepper to the pan, followed by the mushrooms
  • Allow mixture to cook for a few minutes before tossing in spinach
  • Add chilli powder and tomato paste, stirring well to coat the veggies
  • Add gnocchi, stir well and cover for 4 minutes. If your stove runs hot, reduce the heat so the gnocchi doesn't stick to the pan too badly
  • After about 4 minutes, check in with your gnocchi. If they aren't quite finished (they're still hard instead of soft and pillowy), stir and cover them again for about 3 minutes. That should do it!
  • Serve with grated parmesan and fresh ground black pepper
