Butter Tofu Gnocchi

Butter tofu meets Italian gnocchi, it shouldn't work but it really does! The silken tofu makes the sauce ultra-smooth and rich, while the tofu chunks adds protein and texture. It’s hearty, full of flavour, and comes together in under 30 minutes and in just one pan!

Notes

• You can use store-bought or homemade gnocchi, just make sure it’s vegan-friendly. We used store bought. • For an even creamier sauce, stir through a spoonful of vegan cream before serving. • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. • For a gluten-free version, swap to gluten-free gnocchi and double-check your tomato purée and spices.

Delicious! One of my favorites so far. Used some mini gnocchi that I found so they were truly bite-sized. I only had ground cumin on hand but I’d swap for whole seed next time and bloom it in oil before adding the other aromatics. A bit of fenugreek leaves stirred in towards the end would add a lovely flavor. Or possibly some tamarind in the tomatoes to deepen the flavor. I may also try a mustard seed and curry leaf tadka to finish it.

I don’t know why it works but it works!! I thought it didn’t look very saucy so I added an extra 400ml of diced tomatoes and then blended another 150g of silken tofu (just what was left in the packet) and also doubled up the spices! Depends how saucy you want it but I liked it my way!!
