Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided * 1 16-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi, (see Tip) * 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced * 4 cloves garlic, minced * 1/2 cup water * 6 cups chopped chard leaves, (about 1 small bunch) or spinach * 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings * 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper * 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese * 1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard (or spinach) and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
Tips & Notes
* Tip: Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta in the Italian section of most supermarkets.

My college-age kids made this several times and came home raving about it. They said, "It tastes like a deconstructed pizza!" They're right! We serve the cheese on the side to choose the amount of cheese and leftovers taste better with freshly melted cheese (if there ARE leftovers!) - 5/17/12
