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.
