Healthy Gnocchi

I made gnocchi tonight and it tasted wonderful (even my 11 year old liked it.)  The best part?  It was low-calorie and fit into my diet perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 1 Package gnocchi (should be <660 calories for the entire box)
  • 1/2 Red onion
  • 1/2 Cup roasted garlic (from the deli section)
  • 1/2 Tablespoon fresh basil, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 14Ounce can Roasted Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 14 Ounce can Quartered Artichokes
  • 1/2 Fresh Jalapeno
  • Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Cooking

Cook the gnocchi according to the directions.

Slice the onion and jalapeno thinly.  Heat the olive oil over high in a skillet, add the onions and jalapeno.

Once the onions are translucent, add the quartered artichokes.  Let cook for 5 minutes.  Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Add the roasted tomatoes and let cook until reduced.  Add the red wine vinegar and cook down for 1 minute.

Turn the heat the low.  Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, the garlic, and half of the basil.

Once the gnocchi is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the boiling water.

Move the gnocchi to the sauce in the skillet.  Toss to cover the gnocchi with the sauce.

Serve with fresh basil on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
