creamy parmesan garlic gnocchi
NOTE: Many people haven’t been able to find Progresso Recipe Starters to use in the recipe. See this post for an UPDATED version of this recipe with a homemade sauce!
It’s a small travesty that I hadn’t caught onto the one-pan/one-pot phenomenon sooner. But now that I have, it’s pretty obvious I’m in love with it. But how can you not be, when it’s a) less clean-up #WIN, b) quick and easy #DOUBLEWIN and c) made with a small number of ingredients #SOMUCHWINIT’SRIDICULOUS?
And that is the last time I will speak in hashtag. #Promise.
This one-pan creamy Parmesan garlic gnocchi is one such meal that isn’t leaving our regular dinner menu rotation any time soon — not only because it covers all of the aforementioned perks of the one-pan/one-pot meal, but also because it’s so incredibly delicious. (I want to add something here in hashtag SO BAD right now but I will spare you).
Have you had a chance to try out Progresso‘s Recipe Starter pouches yet? If not, get thee to the grocery store and pick some up! They come in a variety of flavors, each of them a major boon to your favorite classic recipes or new ones, too. This recipe uses the creamy roasted garlic starter and it just makes the dish. And apart from that sauce, this meal is made with white beans, kale, Parmesan cheese and gnocchi. AND THAT’S IT. Gotta love when that happens.
I will say that if you want to add chopped rotisserie chicken or ham or cooked shrimp (or bacon?? yesssssss) to the dish, I am in full support, as we have done that from time to time when making it. But we’ve also made it sans meat and it’s just as filling, satisfying and yummy that way. Just let your heart — er, belly — decide.
Extra sprinkles of Parmesan cheese are also encouraged. I don’t even feel like I need to explain why.
With the amount of times we’ve made this dish, I think I’ve made up for lost time on the whole one-pan/one-pot thing. But I’ll be making this again tonight just to be sure.

I love gnocchi, this has comfort written all over it!
YUM! This looks like the perfect winter meal to curl up by the fire place and eat ๐
Yesssss! The kale and beans totally counteract all the extra cheese I am going to smother this with!
this just screams warm & comforting! wanna hear a secret? I haven’t had gnocchi in over two years…I know. The last time I had it, it was practically mush and I was ruined, but lately Ive been feeling the need to get back on board with it, and this looks like just the thing! love!
Seriously, please remind me not to come by your blog when I am hungry. I think I just drooled on my keyboard! This is so yummy looking. Love kale and white beans and gnocchi, so this is perfect in my opinion.
This looked totally awesome, until I saw that it came from a can (pouch.) ๐ Bummer. I try to avoid prepackaged stuff, just too many additives and chemicals. Ah well.
I agree…but tried it anyway…and it was pretty good. Trying to figure out how to duplicate the pouch sauce using fresh ingredients. Then it would definitely be part of my evening dinner rotation! So quick and easy (mostly because of the pouch, though!). ๐
Congrats on being blogger of the week on popsugar! I really wish I had a bowl of this right now…
The one-pot meal is such a lifesaver on busy days!! This creamy gnocchi looks amazing… so flavourful and nutritious with all of those beans and kale! I don’t really use recipe bases but I like the idea of this one that you sampled. Perfect for nights when you want something tasty but don’t have the energy to make a sauce from scratch ๐ Lovely as always Steph! xxx
That looks incredible! Somehow I’m just ready to zoom right into lunch hour. HUNGRY!
Pinned.
Enjoy the first fabulous fall weekend!
Hello, comfort food! I want to eat it all!
This sounds amazing! I usually steer clear of “premade” package-y kinds of things, but I checked out their web site and the ingredients don’t sound so bad! I might have to make an exception and try this stuff out. ๐ great recipe, Steph!
One pot meals are the best! Especially ones that involve gnocchi and cheese!
Wow that dish looks just perfect–comforting and creamy deliciousness.
I would be happy if 90% of my meals started with creamy roasted garlic. Just sayin.
Can’t beat one pot meals especially when they look this incredible! I just want to dive right in to this creamy pot of deliciousness head first! Amazing!
