Gnocchi with Bocconcini and Oregano

Mixed results with this Hello Fresh recipe; symbol and I both loved it, the Kidlet -- who apparently doesn't like mozzarella-type cheeses anymore -- spurned it. I would definitely make it again, though! Maybe in a year or two she'll be back on board with soft cheeses...

Gnocchi with Bocconcini and Oregano

Hello Fresh

Ingredients

  • 700g gnocchi
  • 200g bocconcini, drained and quartered
  • 113g baby spinach
  • 120mL feta cheese, crumbled
  • 225g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 60mL white wine vinegar
  • 5g fresh oregano leaves, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 60g assorted olives, chopped
  • 60mL butter
  • 60mL oil
  • 5mL sugar
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and sugar in a large bowl (large enough to hold all the other ingredients; if you don't have a bowl large enough, prepare the gnocchi in a large pot and add the vegetables to it at the end, rather than vice versa).
  2. Stir in the feta, olives, bocconcini, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium heat.
  4. Melt the butter, then add the gnocchi. Pan-fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-10 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic, onions, and oregano. Continue cooking until the onions begin to soften, 2-4 minutes.
  6.  Add the spinach to the pan and cover just long enough for it to start to wilt.
  7. Add the contents of the pan to the bowl and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
