Gnocchi

We all have those days where we look in the fridge and notice there's a half of this, a chunk of that, and you don't want it to go to waste. This is what came out of one of those days, and it is definitely a keeper.

Gnocchi with Fridge findings
- 1 package gnocchi, any kind
- 1/2 tomato, chopped
- 3 mushrooms, sliced
- small chunk of mozzarella, grated
- 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
- big bunch of kale, rinsed and chopped

Fill a pot with water to boil for gnocchi. Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in a little bit of olive oil, for about 5 - 7 minutes, or until nice and browned. Add kale, stirring lightly and letting the kale steam. If needed, add a bit of water to help the process. Once kale has wilted, add salt, tomatoes and stir in cheeses slowly, allowing to melt. Add some warm water if needed.

Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and add to pan, tossing everything to coat. Add more cheese if you like it cheesier. Serve immediately.
