Gnocchi with Fava Beans

Gnocchi with Fava Beans

Serves 6

30 minutes or fewer

Happily, gnocchi are now widely available in vacuum-packed bags, which is all the more reason to use these small, oval Italian dumplings in place of pasta. If you can’t find fava beans, just substitute red kidney beans.
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 Tbs. minced garlic
  • 1 19-oz. can fava beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup prepared roasted red peppers, drained and cut into strips
  • 1 13.75-oz. can water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and halved
  • 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 1-lb. pkg. vacuum-packed gnocchi
  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add fava beans, red peppers and artichoke hearts, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes more, or until heated through.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Drain. Transfer gnocchi to large serving bowl, and spoon fava bean mixture over top. Serve hot.

I made this yesterday and it was really good. I just used a jar of pasta sauce and omitted the roasted red peppers and sun dried tomatoes.

This is soooo good! I agree that pasta sauce may be better than the tomato sauce cuz I used more garlic and basil/oregano to give it more flavor. I used a lot of roasted red peppers and left out the sun-dried ones. I think using both may be a bit overkill. Great over broccoli too!
