Healthy Gnocchi All’Arrabbiata recipe
Are you a fan of hearty and spicy sauces? If yes, keep reading. Because this Gnocchi All’Arrabbiata sauce recipe is going to be perfect for you. It’s hearty, spicy, fruity, and very tasty. The recipe is furthermore plant-based, gluten-free, and super easy to make. Making the sauce takes actually less than 20 minutes. Easy vegan dinner recipes that taste amazing are my fave and I bet yours too.
Gnocchi vs Pasta
What do you prefer? Pasta or Gnocchi? I actually love both, however, lately I have been obsessed with Gnocchi. These cute mini “potato dumplings” are super tasty and versatile. You can buy store-bought Gnocchi or even make your own. I have been experimenting a lot with gluten-free Gnocchi recipes and recently came up with one protein-rich version that came out pretty amazing. I will need to make it one more time though, just to be sure that the recipe is really perfect.
The Gnocchi which you can see in this blog post are the homemade ones and I really like how they turned out. I will most likely share the recipe on my blog in the near future because I am pretty sure that some of you are interested in a homemade Gnocchi recipe that is vegan AND gluten-free. But until then you can use store-bought Gnocchi which taste great as well.
Gnocchi All’Arrabbiata sauce
Like mentioned before, it takes less than 20 minutes to make this hearty, fruity All’Arrabbiata sauce. I’ve used Pomi’s Chopped Tomatoes which are not only organic but also made in Italy. And we all know that sun-ripened Italian tomatoes are the best. I really love their brand a lot and I can taste that the tomatoes are perfectly ripe and processed immediately after harvesting. This sauce is not only great for Gnocchi All’Arrabbiata, but it’s also amazing for pizza and pasta!
Easy recipe
You most likely already have all ingredients at home to make this hearty Gnocchi All’Arrabbiata. The recipe is super simple and done fast. All you need is a package of Gnocchi, chopped tomatoes, a couple of condiments and a skillet. Easy peasy!

I’m making this for the second time, and i’m making a double batch of the sauce to freeze. It is an amazingly flavorful chunky sauce, and i add sprigs of fresh rosemary to it! i’ve told my daughter and daughter in law it’s the best recipe, and so easy too!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
That makes me so happy! I am glad you like the recipe. 🙂
Looking forward to trying this. What do you pair this with? I was thinking to add either shredded spinach or broccoli. Would love your thoughts! Do you eat just this as a meal?
Yes, I often add spinach. But broccoli, zucchini or any other veggies are also a great addition. 🙂

Hi! I’ve had a package of gnocchi for ages in my pantry, not knowing what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration! Was wondering if I could use fresh Roma tomatoes in place of the boxed tomatoes, and if so how many would you suggest?
I am a new subscriber to your blog, your recipes are wonderful. I have been vegan a little over one year now and my large family resents me MIGHTILY, says I’ve joined a CULT (????)

Thanks so much for your compliment, Susan! Yes, you can use 750 g (26.5 oz) of fresh tomatoes. 🙂
Ela, thank-you for your prompt reply ❤
