Garlic & Kale Baked Gnocchi

Ingredients:
2 big kale leaves, veins removed and chopped.
3-4 garlic cloves
16 oz. of gnocchi
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
1 1/4 cup of milk
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese
1 tomato, sliced
1/4 cup of red wine
Pepper

Chop the kale into small pieces and mince the garlic. In a medium sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic and kale in the oil until the kale is bright green and has softened some. Remove to a plate.

Put a pot of water on to boil for the gnocchi. In the same pot used for the kale, melt the butter and whisk in the flour until a paste begins to form. Add cayenne. Whisk in the milk. Add 1 cup of the shredded cheese and stir until combined. Cook gnocchi in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float. Strain.

Pour the gnocchi, garlic, and kale into the cheese sauce. Pour into a baking dish, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese. Use a brush to wipe red wine onto the tomatoes until they are saturated. Season dish with pepper. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until the edges begin to bubble.
