Allergen free Gnocchi and Veggies

We are still on an Italian kick around here, as well as switching over to a more organic/natural lifestyle, so we will be doing less meat. I think I have discovered a good selection of meatless meals that will be satisfying and since my family are meat and potato type eaters this makes me shout a big Yay!

I looked at the price of frozen GF gnocchi in the store and said forget it! Then came across a recipe for homemade, allergen free gnocchi from Cybele Pascal and it is really simple!  So that is what I use in this recipe.

Gnocchi and Veggies 

1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup chopped tomatoes (cherry or miniature heirloom ones work great)
Sprinkle of basil
1/2c of chopped frozen spinach
16 oz gnocchi 
1 tbs Earth Balance soy free spread
2 tsp lemon juice

First make your gnocchi, it will take you at least an hour so plan ahead, but once they are made they can be frozen or refrigerated and served a day or so later.

Heat oil in large pan and add garlic, stir for about a min and add the tomatoes and spinach. Stir for another two minutes or so. Remove from heat and toss with the gnocchi and sprinkle on the basil, stir in butter and lemon juice. You can also add a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan at the end.

Enjoy!
