Description

A creamy, comforting vegan dish made with fluffy potato gnocchi, coconut milk, cherry tomatoes, and vibrant spinach.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package instructions or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 3 minutes.
  5. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.
  6. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet, add remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and add cooked gnocchi. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp on the edges.
  7. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with vegetables and gnocchi.
  8. Stir in nutritional yeast, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
