Instructions

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute onions in 1 tablespoon of water over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, and saute 2 more minutes. Add water a little at a time if things begin to stick.
• Add the red pepper flakes and ground fennel, and stir well.
• Add the tomatoes + the reserved liquid, and stock, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer, and add the green beans, spinach, cannelini beans and gnocchi. Cover and simmer abut 3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, green beans are fork tender, and the gnocchi floats to the surface.
• Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

I prefer to use whole tomatoes, as canned diced tomatoes contain a chemical (to keep them from dissolving), which alters the flavor. Also, I find there's no match for the flavor of San Marzanos. But chopping whole tomatoes can make a mess! To avoid this, I empty the whole can into a large bowl and break them up them with a potato masher.
