  2. 1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi
  3. 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  4. 1 (8 ounce) package crimini mushrooms, quartered
  5. 3 stalks celery, diced

Instructions

  1. Place spinach in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Separate with a fork and drain.

  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet. Add gnocchi and brown, flipping halfway through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add mushroom-celery mixture, cannellini beans, spinach, onions, wine, salt, and sage; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  5. Mix together vegan pesto and vegetable broth in a small bowl. Pour into skillet over gnocchi and serve.

I always end up with extra pesto at home, so this was a good use of it. I wanted to have some texture so I added extra crispy onions at the end as well.
