Mediterranean-Style Butter Bean 'Gnocchi'

We call our Queen Butter Beans nature's gnocchi - with their pillowy, fluffy texture replicating a similar structure to the potato alternative, but just much better for you!

Nutritionist Dominique Ludwig also agrees, sharing this rustic butter bean gnocchi recipe from her cookbook No Nonsense Nutrition”.

So why would you consider the swap?! In this particular recipe:

400% more fibre, protein boosted to 29 grams per portion, regulated blood sugar levels, no pasta to boil, + we may be biased, but MORE DELICIOUS!

Directions

1

Heat one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron cooking pot, deep-sided frying pan or heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the garlic and carrot and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the courgette and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender. (Add the courgette slightly later if you prefer it firmer.)

2

Tip in the butter beans with their liquid, followed by the tinned tomatoes and tomato purée. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer gently for 5–6 minutes over a low heat.

3

Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt. Add the parsley and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Divide between serving bowls. Top with the Parmesan and swirl over the Greek yoghurt before serving.
