Ingredients 

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 16-ounce package vegan gnocchi (or make your own with the recipe from The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen Cookbook)

1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup water

6 cups chopped kale or spinach leaves

1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes

1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained

1/2-1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning spice mix, more if needed for taste

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup shredded vegan mozzarella cheese (optional for low fat option)

 

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until golden brown brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and saute, 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 kale (or spinach) and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, beans, salt, pepper and seasonings, then bring to a simmer.

Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella.

Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.
