This has been the favorite recipe on the www.eatingwell.com site for weeks. We tried it this past week and gave it two thumbs up. My notes: be sure to use petite diced tomatoes (I used regular and added my own spices) and cut the chard into small pieces. This would easily be adapted to different flavors such as chickpeas, spinach, oregano and feta, or white beans with havarti and dill. I'm keeping the shelf-stable gnocchi stocked in my pantry from now on.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
from Eating Well Magazine Jan/Feb 2009
Eating well suggests serving it with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 16-oz pkg shelf-stable gnocchi
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water
6 cups chopped chard leaves
1 15-oz can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
1 15-oz 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
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to a bowl.
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 onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and peppers and bring to a simmer. Stir int he gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about three minutes.

Where does one find shelf-stable gnocchi???? I had no idea there was such a thing!
I found it in the pasta aisle. Also had shelf stable polenta.
Quite often they have it at Trader Joe's. Just FYI.
