Equipment

  • Large sautée pan
  • Medium sautée pan
  • Small sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 1 package gnocchi I like Whole Foods Gluten Free Gnocchi
  • 1 cup arugula 1 cup per bowl of gnocchi
  • 1 package broccolini I like Trader Joe’s Organic Baby Broccolini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 jar pasta sauce I like Whole Foods Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauce

Instructions

  • Heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil in a medium sauté pan on medium heat. Open the package of gnocchi and add to the pan, cooking for about 2 minutes until golden. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. 
  • Flip over the gnocchi and cook for another 2 minutes. 
  • Heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat and add a package of washed broccolini with a tsp of chopped garlic. You can also use fresh garlic (2 cloves). I prefer buying it pre-chopped because it’s so much faster. Stir the broccolini and garlic well. Then, cover for 5-10 minutes until soft.
  • Add half a jar of marinara sauce into a small saucepan on medium low. Once the sauce is at the desired temp, add in the cooked gnocchi and stir well. 
  • Place about a cup of washed arugula into a bowl. Add the gnocchi sauce mixture to the bowl. Top it off with 3-5 stalks of broccolini. 
  • Stir and enjoy!
