White Beans, Spinach & Tomatoes over Parmesan Toast

4 thick slices country-style whole-wheat bread
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed
1 10-ounce bag baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup sliced fresh basil, or 2 tablespoons prepared pesto

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Top bread with Parmesan, place on a baking sheet and bake until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and beans and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes are beginning to soften and the beans are heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach, pepper, salt and broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach is just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in basil (or pesto). Spoon the bean-and-spinach mixture over the Parmesan toasts and serve hot.

Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 16-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi, (see Tip)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup water
6 cups chopped chard leaves, (about 1 small bunch) or spinach
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium
heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting
to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook,
stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and water.
Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard (or
spinach) and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, beans and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the
gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook
