Aaaahhh!  It’s October 1st!  Is that crazy or what?!

October in my mind is crazy town…My brother’s wedding, Kai’s 2nd birthday, Ben’s-not-2nd- birthday (I’ll leave it at that 😉 ).

And October is thesis crunch time.  Like it needs to start looking like a real thesis soon, not a random bunch of pieces here and there.  (I apologize in advance for the thesis talk between now and December 14.  I am stuck in my basement all day working on it, and I am going crazy…I’ve even progressed to the point of talking to myself!)

So basically I am going to need some easy recipes up my sleeve for October.  And today I have one seriously easy recipe for us: one pan gnocchi!

Have you ever eaten pan-fried gnocchi?  It is ALL SORTS of wonderful.

I first saw Nigella do it, and then had to try it for myself.  Here’s the deal:  packaged gnocchi, some olive oil, salt and pepper and a hot pan.  Cook until golden.  They get crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.  So wonderful!

I took this idea and added a few ingredients to turn this one pan gnocchi into a full meal: white beans for some protein, spinach and mushrooms for some nutritional content, and sundried tomatoes to boost the flavor.

I made sure to dice those sundried tomatoes nice and fine, because (call me crazy) big chunks of sundried tomatoes are just a no for me.  Sundried tomato flavor is SO strong, and we don’t want too much of a good thing 😉

In addition to the sundried tomatoes, I added a sprinkling of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.  1/2 teaspoon is just enough for me, feel free to add more or less to taste!

And cheese.  Of course.  Can’t forget the Parmesan cheese.  A nice shower of it just before serving.

Easy peasy, healthy, vegetarian, made with a bunch of pantry staples, and ready in 30 minutes.  And only one pan.

October, bring it on.  I am ready for you!

Recipe Notes
Makes a great lunch the next day.

This works well with packaged gnocchi (sold with the dried pasta in the grocery store), but hasn't been tested with fresh gnocchi.

**I do need to note that in adding the extra ingredients to the pan-fried gnocchi, the gnocchi does lose a touch of its crispiness, but it still retains a really nice texture.

    • Hi Linh! I think you’re right, there is something about rennet being in parmesan and it not being actually vegetarian (I was shocked to read this!). You can swap with any cheese or just leave it out. I bet feta cheese would be good!

  3. Hi. I have never cooked gnocchi before…My store has potato gnocchi. Says to boil it. Is it okay if I prepare it like your recipe states? Thanks for the help…

    Reply

    • Hi Kristina! I have only tried with the shelf-stable gnocchi, not fresh, however I do know others have tried fresh. Either way, you don’t need to boil for this recipe. Hope you enjoy!

  4. Denise,

    Love this recipe! W’ve been enjoying it for years. We’re vegetarians and love finding delicious recipes such as this. I recently made it with musroom gnocchi and it was wonderful.

  5. This is so yum! I made it with peppers and onions instead of mushrooms (they spoiled) and it might have been even better.

  7. How many servings are in this recipe? The nutrition info doesn’t say so I don’t know how many calories are in each serving.

    • Hi Erica, sorry about that! I just transferred recipe card plug-ins and it seems to have removed some of the serving sizes, I will update ASAP. It’s for 1/4 of the batch.

  8. I’m such a fan of all the recipe items in this dish, so cooking them together will be wonderful. I always feel that good cooks are like good artists and know the “beauty” and flavorful tastes of their blended dishes. Thank you for such inspiration. I was wondering if you would consider adding your website name to your printed recipes, like right below the title or something. I really like having the reference so I can easily come back to your site for more things to cook! Regards for your work!
    PS It wouldn’t let me leave 5 stars, so I’ll send you one extra.

  9. This is one of my favorite recipes! As someone said earlier, I can eat all of this and not want to share. 😉
    Thanks for the recipe. I’ve made it several times now. It gets better every time.

    • Hi Laurie, I haven’t tried, but I suspect the gnocchi might not have a great texture after freezing. If you try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out 🙂
