16- ounce package (450 grams) gnocchi

tomatoes

¾ cup (80 milliliters) heavy cream

pesto

salt

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

In a pan over medium heat, heat sundried tomato oil and sear the sundried tomatoes for a minute just to release the flavor. Add the cream, simmer for a minute (don&#039;t boil), remove from heat and mix in the pesto. Season with salt.

Add the cooked and drained gnocchi to the sauce, and toss until the gnocchi is covered in sauce.

Serve warm. If desired, top with grated parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese.

One pot Creamy Pesto Gnocchi is luscious, smooth, and comforting. Cooked in an easy creamy pesto sauce, the gnocchi is tender and has layers of flavor. Ready in 20 minutes and dairy free!

pine nuts (or cashews)

basil

garlic

lemon juice

yeast

gnocchi

can full fat coconut milk

dry white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)

salt + black pepper,

baby spinach

Vegan Parmesan (optional)

Place all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor and process until finely chopped.

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Process until smooth (there will still be a little texture, but mostly smooth), adding a little more olive oil or water if needed to help it blend.

Set aside while you prepare the gnocchi.

Make the pesto

In a large deep skillet or pot, add 1/2 cup pesto (use the leftovers elsewhere), coconut milk and wine. Stir and warm over medium heat.

When the sauce starts to simmer, add the gnocchi and give it a good stir.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The sauce will thicken as the gnocchi cooks, so add a little water if needed. Add salt + pepper, to taste and stir in the spinach. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Test the gnocchi- at this point, it should be softened but not mushy. Cook an additional minute or two if needed.

Serve immediately with a sprinkle vegan parmesan cheese and enjoy!

An easy, minimal fuss, minimal clean-up dish that the whole family will love! The perfect weeknight dinner after a busy day. You can make it a 15 min-din by using pre-cooked chicken pieces, too.
