2-Ingredient Vegan Gnocchi

2-Ingredient Vegan Gnocchi, that’s pillowy & comforting, without taking too much of your time! 

Vegan | Soy-free 

Of all the homemade pasta options, gnocchi is my favorite! Mostly because there’s no need for machinery and there’s very little preparation needed. It does take some work to make gnocchi from scratch, however, the process results in soft pillowy pasta with just 2 ingredients that you probably already have at home.

What is Gnocchi? 

Gnocchi is a small dumpling-like pasta made essentially from starches; usually potatoes and flour. Although many other varieties exist, like with eggs & oil, I believe potatoes and flour are the only ingredients needed for traditional gnocchi.

This recipe will not require much of your time, and gnocchi are known for being extremely versatile. So you can play with different starches and ingredients to achieve new and tasty variations whenever we want.

Variations

• Sub the potato for sweet potato, butternut squash, beetroot or carrot.
• Make a gluten-free version by subbing the regular flour for chickpea flour. 

Also, get creative with the sauce! I made mine with my vegan alfredo sauce recipe, but don’t be afraid to try gnocchi out with these sauces:

• Classic Vegan Bolognese
• Oil & Garlic
• Vegan Pesto
• Vegan Brown Butter & Sage

Check out my other pasta recipes:

• Cacio e Pepe (vegan & nut-free)
• Lemon-Garlic Fettuccine with Vegan Scallops
• Beetroot Pesto Pasta
• Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce
• Mushroom Risotto (vegan)
• Vegan Meatballs
• Baked Mac & Cheese (vegan)

What to serve with Gnocchi?

Along with the soft Vegan Alfredo Gnocchi, I made some vegan Italian sausages with sauteed bell peppers & onions. And of course, no Italian dish can be complete without some garlic bread. The bread is perfect for picking up all the vegan alfredo sauce.

Make sure you pair this dish with your favorite wine; we certainly did!

Serves: 4-6 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 40 minutes 40 minutes Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

• 1 large or 2 medium-sized potatoes (yield 2 cups mashed)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (+more for kneading)
• Optional: salt & pepper to taste

Procedure

1. Peel and chop potatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then cook the potatoes until tender. When cooked, drain the potatoes and let cool down.
2. When cool enough to touch, mash them using a potato ricer or a fork.
3. Put mashed potatoes onto a floured countertop and gradually add flour. Knead with your hands until a dough forms. Keep adding flour until the dough is soft, not too sticky. 
4. Then bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water starts boiling, shape the gnocchi: divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll each one to strands (about 1 inch in diameter). Cut into 1-inch chunks.
5. Optional: if you want ridges, roll them over a gnocchi pallet or a fork.
6. Add salt to the boiling water and cook the gnocchi in batches, otherwise they’ll stick together. When they float to the top, they're ready!
7. Toss gnocchi in your favorite sauce, and ENJOY!
