Step 1

To make your vegan gnocchi + sauce, start with the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add minced or crushed garlic, peeled & diced eggplant and dried basil. Cook while stirring for 3-5 min until the eggplant is soft.

Step 3

Add the diced tomatoes, wine or vegetable broth, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 mins, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions.

Step 5

Scoop out the gnocchi and add them to the sauce. Gently toss in the sauce until coated completely, add pasta water if you need to create a creaminess.

Step 6

Sprinkle with vegan parmesan and parsley.
