Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) soft potato gnocchi (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups cherry or vine tomatoes
  • 4–6 garlic cloves, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the Tomatoes and Garlic: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Halve garlic cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and add them alongside the tomatoes. Roast for 20 minutes until tomatoes are blistered and garlic is soft and caramelized.
  2. Cook the Gnocchi: While the tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
  3. Blend the Roasted Tomato Sauce: Transfer the roasted tomatoes and garlic to a blender or food processor. Add fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, nutritional yeast, and blend until smooth but still slightly chunky, preserving some texture.
  4. Combine and Sauté: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, and pour in the blended sauce. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to thicken it slightly. Add the cooked gnocchi and gently toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  5. Serve Warm: Plate your Vegan Roasted Tomato Gnocchi with a sprinkle of fresh basil and nutritional yeast for garnish. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Choose quality fresh or frozen potato gnocchi for best texture.
  • Roast tomatoes at high heat (425°F/220°C) to intensify sweetness.
  • Don’t overblend sauce to retain pleasant texture.
  • Use fresh basil after blending for vibrant flavor.
  • Toss gnocchi gently when combining to prevent breaking.
