Begin by draining and rinsing a can of white beans. Use a fork or a food processor to mash the beans until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. This creamy bean mixture is the heart of your Healthy White Bean Gnocchi.

In the bowl with mashed beans, add all-purpose flour, an egg, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms, adjusting the flour as necessary.

Roll the dough into a log about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch pieces, creating little gnocchi pillows.

In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the water in batches. Cook them until they float to the surface, then let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.

Serve it hot with your favorite sauce, drizzling with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkling fresh herbs on top.
