I find when making food, it’s all about sauces. Just think of pasta without sauce. Meh. But with something like this Spicy Tahini Pasta Sauce, it is incredibly delicious.
Today’s recipe is following the same direction. Once you’ve tried this Vegan Gnocchi Sauce with Roasted Tomatoes you know it’s super satisfying, creamy, addictive, mouthwatering, time saving, homemade, garlicky, cheesy, and the ultimate comfort food for everyone.
For me the best part about it is that it is not only an amazing gnocchi sauce recipe but also perfect as spaghetti sauce. It’s a keeper for everyone who loves a bit variety from your vegan Alfredo sauce.
How to make Vegan Gnocchi Sauce with Roasted Tomatoes
Start with parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lay down your halved cherry tomatoes and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast them for around 20 minutes at 415°F.
When your oven roasted tomatoes have reached the 10 minute mark, it’s time to get going and make the gnocchi white sauce. Start by melting the vegan butter in a casserole.
Add minced garlic to the butter and fry for around 2 minutes. Slowly add the half of the almond milk, and mix 2 tsp potato starch with 8 tsp water.
Carefully pour the mix into the sauce and bring to a slow boil while whisking. When it starts to thicken, add the rest of the almond milk. Keep whisking for about 4 minutes.
Next and last, add the optional nutritional yeast and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 additional minutes.
Serve over gnocchi or pasta with the gnocchi sauce and roasted tomatoes.
This makes such an amazing and delicious idea for dinner, lunch idea for work, perfect for dinner ideas for two, date night recipes and easy dinner recipes for family.
As you can see, I don’t use any white whine. My goal is to make the base dish suitable for all your members of the family.
Even picky kids will love this.
I made this for friends recently and no one missed the dairy or cheese. So it’s a winner at any book, you can be sure.
Is gnocchi pasta
Short answer: no. But still, gnocchi are delicious and amazing. You can imagine when making potato gnocchi which the main ingredient is obviously potatoes, that it has a fantastic and robust texture from the starch of potatoes.
You finally add some flour to make the texture complete. It all depends on your preferences:
Store bought gnocchi are no different, meaning that the main ingredient is potatoes. But let’s no lie: homemade taste so much better.
Gnocchi Sauce for more quick dinner recipes
I love this Vegan Gnocchi Sauce with Roasted Tomatoes but from time to time I think we can all agree we all striving for some variation:
If so, these sauces are also amazing for gnocchi and pasta both:
- Cauliflower Carbonara Sauce – a creamy and delicious sauce made with cauliflower and no one would guess it’s low fat and perfect for a low carb diet. And of course vegan.
- Spicy Tahini Pasta Sauce – tahini is a staple in my house. I never get tired of it.
- Avocado Pesto Pasta Sauce – The best pesto sauce! Look no further for oil free creaminess from cashew butter and avocado, yum! It’s also a great dip for all your veggies and chips. Really versatile, a keeper.
- Roasted Garlic Carbonara Sauce – Are you a garlic lover like me and can’t get enough from the flavor of roasted garlic? Waste no time and make this!
All these sauces are vegan, dairy free, and gluten free. Made with 6 simple ingredients or less so they are a must make for your easy dinners. So stress free for your under 30 minute meals.
