Ingredients | Spinach Arugula Pesto

1 cup frozen chopped spinach

1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 (8 ounce) package crimini mushrooms, quartered

3 stalks celery, diced

1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans

⅓ cup french-fried onions

¼ cup white wine

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon dried sage

¾ cup vegan pesto

½ cup vegetable broth

Directions

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

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until warm. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add celery, cover, and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove mushrooms and celery to a bowl.

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.

Mix together vegan pesto and vegetable broth in a small bowl. Pour into skillet over gnocchi and serve.
