Equipment
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- ½ cup basil chopped
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth low sodium
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 tsp tahini
- ½ cup soy milk unsweetened, or plant based milk of choice
Gnocchi
- 1 cup sweet potato cooked and mashed
- 1 cup oat flour

Instructions
Sauce
- Sauté the garlic with a little of the vegetable broth for about 1 minute.
- Add the remaining sauce ingredients and let cook for on medium for 15 minutes.
Gnocchi
- Add the gnocchi ingredients to mixing bowl and mix until just incorporated. Don't overmix.

This recipe looks delicious! Thank you, Jill. I can’t wait to try it!
I tried this tonight. I have never made gnocchi before so I was skeptical. I had to use a bit more flour to make it pliable enough to roll out and less sticky. I also sprinkled a tiny bit of corn starch in the final sauce to thicken it up a bit. Very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks.
Very nice recipe chef ???,really yummy ?. Thank you for your effort ???
