On a pasta kick lately, and not mad about it. GNOCCHI ALFREDO + GARLICKY SPINACH ๐ฅ๐ฅฌ๐ง๐ This dish is both gluten-free and dairy-free; but you would never guess that. Used my trusty, homemade Cashew Alfredo, some sauteฬed garlicky spinach (but you can sub your fave greens like arugula or kale) mixed in with a store-bought potato and rice flour gnocchi. Grab the recipe deets below and give this amazing little sauce a try๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Cashew Alfredo Sauce (DF)
1 + 2/3 cups raw cashews soaked (for ~4 hours or overnight)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp of coarse black pepper
3 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
3 Tbsp of nutritional yeast
1 + 1/4 cup water or bone broth (the latter takes it over the top! ๐ฅ)
Instructions ๐๐๐๐๐
Cook the pasta of your choice and follow instructions on the package. I used potato and rice flour gnocchi; but any gnocchi will do. In your food processor, throw in all the sauce ingredients and process until itโs smooth and creamy. If you feel itโs too thick, add a pinch more water or broth and then blend again to adjust.
In a skillet or medium to large sauce pan, warm up 1-2 Tbsp of good olive oil. Add 4 cloves of finely minced garlic and when fragrant (1-2 mins) throw in about ~4 cups of tightly packed spinach and stir until it starts to soften. Add some cooked pasta and cashew sauce to the pan and give it a good toss. Top with coarse pepper, red pepper flakes, or fresh grated parm.
Hope youโre having a week evening, friends!๐๐ปโจ
