I advise that the kale and the gnocchi are boiled in separate pans to avoid overcooking the gnocchi. The kale takes about the same time as the gnocchi, but the gnocchi floats when it is ready and if the kale is cooked in the same pan it can make it harder to see when gnocchi is floating and needs to be taken out.
