Scale
Oil and Aromatics
- 1 1/2 Tbsp oil or vegan butter
- 1/2 medium onion finely diced
- 3 Tbsp fresh sage finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Liquids and Vegetables
- 1/3 cup dry (80 ml) white wine (see notes)
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) dairy-free cream or milk (see notes)
- 1 cup frozen (150 g) peas thawed
Gnocchi and Finishing
- 400 g uncooked gnocchi (vegan & gluten-free)
- Vegan Parmesan to sprinkle
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic to prepare for sautéing.
- Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat the oil or vegan butter over medium heat until hot.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened. Then, add the chopped sage and minced garlic, cooking for another minute while stirring frequently.
- Add liquids and peas: Season with salt and pepper, then stir in Dijon mustard. Pour in the white wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the dairy-free cream and peas, stirring well and bringing to a gentle boil.
- Cook gnocchi: Reduce heat to a simmer, add the uncooked gnocchi to the sauce, and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce gets too thick, add more dairy-free cream or milk; if too thin, simmer a few more minutes.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan, taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve hot.
Notes
- Gnocchi: Use vegan and gluten-free gnocchi for best results.
- Wine: Substitute with vegetable broth if preferred.
- Dairy-free cream: Options include oat cream, thin cashew cream, soy cream, or canned coconut milk. You can also use dairy-free milk for a lighter sauce, but it may be less creamy.
- Cook time includes simmering and tenderizing the gnocchi: approximately 10 minutes.
- This dish can be prepared in just under 20 minutes, making it perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
