Ingredients
Scale
Oil and Aromatics
- 1 ½ tablespoons oil or vegan butter
- ½ medium onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- â…“ cup dry white wine (80 ml)
- 1 ¼ cups dairy-free cream or milk (300 ml)
- 1 cup frozen peas (150 g), thawed
Gnocchi and Garnish
- 400 g uncooked gnocchi
- Vegan Parmesan, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Aromatics: Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic to create the flavor base for the sauce.
- Heat Oil or Vegan Butter: In a large skillet, heat the oil or vegan butter over medium heat until hot.
- Sauté Onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add Sage and Garlic: Stir in the chopped sage and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add Seasonings and Liquids: Stir in salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, white wine, dairy-free cream or milk, and thawed peas. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer Sauce and Cook Gnocchi: Reduce heat to a simmer and add the uncooked gnocchi. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more dairy-free cream or milk. If too thin, let it simmer a few more minutes until desired consistency.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan, taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed, then serve hot garnished with extra sage if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to thaw peas before adding to the sauce to ensure even cooking.
- If you cannot find vegan Parmesan, nutritional yeast is a great substitute for a cheesy flavor.
- Use gluten-free gnocchi to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
- Adjust the thickness of the cream sauce by adding more dairy-free milk or letting it reduce further to your preference.
