Gnocchi with marinara & pesto
Gnocchi are fun fluffy soft lumps of hearty dough, bathed in flavorful marinara, topped with pesto.
Ingredients
- 1 Pack gnocchi make it around 2 cups for 4 servings
- 1 Drizzle olive oil you need olive oil for sauteing, drizzling for flavor and finishing the dish.
- 1 Pack vegan pesto
- 1 Jar marinara
- 8 Oz fresh produce/ aromatics You can use any alliums you may have, veggie meat, get creative with what you have.
- 3 tablespoon seasonings
Instructions
- Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Strain, run through cold water and set aside.
- Saute sliced aromatics, feel free here, I used tomatoes, celery and tofurkey. This is cosumizable, if you have onions, leeks & brusselsprouts, those are good too. It's an opportunity to clear your pantry or your fridge of some veggies sitting around.
- Throw in jar of red sauce, flavor the marinara with pastes you have, it can be tomato sauce, miso, harissa. This is the time you intensify the flavor. Enhance it even more with seasonings. It might be a spics blend, herb mix, lately I've been using lemon garlic salt and smokey mushroom umami seasoning. Make sure your seasonings are all natural though. Sweeten it a bit with agave. Just a tad, but this is optional.
- Stir gnocchi in, finish with pesto, vegan cheese and herbs. Again these are you'd components that are customizable. I'm sure you are gonna come up with something great. Trust your gut and taste as you go.
