Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sautéed Garlicky Kale
Ingredients
- 3 cups of kale, chopped
- 1 package of frozen sweet potato gnocchi
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- 3 tbsp pesto (store bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil with the chopped kale. Cover with a lid for a few minutes. Remove and stir periodically until the kale has softened (5-10 minutes). Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the frozen sweet potato gnocchi with a splash of liquid (chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water) and cook until warmed through (about 5 minutes). *if your gnocchi is fresh, you don’t need the liquid*. Stir in parmesan cheese and a few spoonfuls of pesto. Enjoy!
*Optional butter variation:
Cook the gnocchi in a brown butter sage sauce: in a large skillet add 4 tbsp of butter and chopped fresh sage and cook until the butter just begins to brown and caramelize. Then add in the gnocchi and cook through (5 minutes). Add in the sautéed kale and enjoy.
