Another delicious recipie from the WW website...Gnocci Marinara. YUMMY!! Everyone liked this one, except Taylor, but she doesn't like anything. If it's not wrapped with bread or covered in peanut butter, she won't eat it. Anyway...If you don't know what Gnocci is, it's an Italian potato "pasta". It's kind of like a little dumpling and you can find it in the pasta aisle at any grocery store. My favorite is the mini Gnocci. It's cute :)
Gnocci Marninara
16 oz dry gnocchi
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 c. basil, chopped, fresh
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbs Parmesan Cheese, grated
Cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until golden, about 5 minutes. Press in the garlic with a garlic press, then add the tomoatoes, basil and red pepper. Cook until the tomatoes have broken down to form a thick sauce, about 20 minutes (I used a 24oz can of chopped tomatoes and it worked great!). Add the gnocchi; toss to coat. Serve at once, sprinkled with the cheese.
This recipe makes 4 HUGE servings, and one serving is 4 points on WW.

* If you don't want to use the gnocchi, try it with pasta. Something chunky like shells, rotini or radiatore.
