Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place spinach in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Separate with a fork and drain.
  2. Step 2

    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.
  3. Step 3

    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.
  4. Step 4

    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.
  5. Step 5

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