Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp oil or vegan butter
  • 1/2 medium onion finely diced
  • 3 Tbsp fresh sage finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup dry (80 ml) white wine (see notes)
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) dairy-free cream or milk (see notes)
  • 1 cup frozen (150 g) peas thawed
  • 400 g uncooked gnocchi
  • Vegan Parmesan to sprinkle

Instructions

  • Watch the video to see all the instruction steps.
    First, finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Then, heat the oil (or vegan butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Once hot, sauté the onion for 3 minutes before adding the sage and garlic and sautéing for a further minute, stirring frequently.
  • Add the salt and pepper, mustard, white wine, dairy-free cream, and peas to the pan, then stir well and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the gnocchi to the sauce, and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender, and the sauce has thickened.
    If it becomes too thick, add more cream/milk. If it isn’t thick enough, allow it to simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Finally, sprinkle the sage gnocchi with vegan Parmesan, taste it to see if it requires more salt and pepper, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Wine: You can use veggie broth instead of white wine.
  • Dairy-free cream: Like oat cream, thin cashew cream, soy cream, canned coconut milk, etc. Use dairy-free milk for a low-fat version (or a 50/50 combination), but the sauce won't be as creamy.
