An easy, weeknight dinner with sophisticated flavor, this gnocchi recipe uses soy milk to create a rich cream sauce. If you don’t want to use soy milk, substitute with traditional cream, rice or hemp milk. For a vegan version, omit the cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz gnocchi either homemade or fresh, prepackaged
  • 1 tbsp your favorite non-dairy butter substitute
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 10 oz button mushrooms sliced
  • salt
  • 1/8 cup dry white wine
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened, organic soy milk (substitute rice or hemp milk)
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 3 cup fresh baby spinach
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
  • While the gnocchi is cooking, add butter and olive oil to a saute pan over medium-high heat. Heat until the butter is completely melted.
  • Add the shallot and saute until tender, about 1 minute.
  • Cover the bottom of the pan with the sliced mushrooms. Let them rest for one minute then saute until tender, about 2-3 more minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the white wine and let it reduce slightly, continuing to stir the mushrooms for 30 seconds-1 minute.
  • Add the garlic and the soy milk. Bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, (optional).
  • Add the spinach and stir until it wilts, approximately 1 minute.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the cream sauce from the heat and add in the gnocchi, gently folding it in the sauce to coat.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

To make this gnocchi vegan, use olive oil in place of the butter and skip the Parmesan.
