    I know, I know, it's technically still summer, but I couldn't wait another second to share this creamy, baked pasta dish that just screams FALL!

    This casserole is filled with a creamy white wine sauce, wilted kale and chunky bites of gnocchi. Do you really need to hear anything else? You should be running to the store to get the ingredients, now...like, NOW!

    Ok, I'll tell you some more - just in case you aren't quite sold.

    If you have every made my Creamy White Wine Vegan Gnocchi before, then you are already pretty familiar with this recipe. The sauce is super similar. But this recipe makes the sauce even better because when you bake it, the top and sides get a nice brown crunch that is to die for.

    And because it is almost Fall I felt like we needed to add a hearty green to the mix. Because you know...health.

    I went with kale, but you can totally swap it out for spinach or chard.

    Now here are some reasons you are going to love this Creamy Vegan Baked Gnocchi:

    • It is quick to make.
    • Decedent without requiring a ton of work.
    • Totally creamy and comforting.

    So without further ado, let's get cooking.

      This was SOO yummy! The wine gave the flavors so much depth. I added breadcrumbs and pepita Parmesan on top, it was fantastic!! Thanks for sharing

        Hi, this meal sounds really good. Would i be able to change the Parmesan to nutritional yeast? I don’t like Parmesan.

          Well, I don't like nutritional yeast, so I can't say for sure. But if you like the flavor, then it should work fine!

      Mine seemed like it was going to be a little runny, so I mixed the flour with water to create a thicker sauce. Was the only change I made. It was so delicious! My meat-loving roommate had seconds 🙂

      Can you recommend a brand of vegan Gnocchi. All that I've seen (and used to make myself) have egg in it. Thanks much! I can't wait to try this!

        The one at my Trader Joe's doesn't have eggs and I've also found others at my regular grocery store. I suggest looking in the pasta aisle (not where the fresh pasta is in the fridge section).

          I was wondering if it's okay to replace the vegan parmesan for something else? None of my local stores sell vegan parmesan.

            Hi Teresa - If you like nutritional yeast you could add that (I personally don't care for it). You could also make a homemade vegan parm - most of the recipes I have seen are a combo of cashews and nutritional yeast. Or you could order the one I linked in the post from Amazon. You could also just omit it and add an extra pinch of salt.

        Most labelled "potato gnocci" are vegan! 🙂 Watch for those in the pasta aisle of grocery stores.

      Love this recipe! So delicious. I added a small head of cauliflower florets that were lightly steamed to lighten it up. I used coconut milk. My meat eating hubby loved it Thanks so much for this recipe.

      Can this be made ahead and baked later? Looking to have this for dinner Friday night. I want to make it up in the morning then bake it later in the evening for dinner. Busy schedule that day!

      This looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it. I have a weird urge to add some kind of breading to the top, do you think that would work?

        Totally. I would just combine some melted vegan butter with some bread crumbs then spread across the top before baking 🙂

        A dry wine is preferable, but any vegan white wine you can find will work.

      I’m curious as to whether you use storebought or homemade vegan Parmesan for this recipe. If you use storebought, what brand is it and where do you find it? Alternatively couldnjust nutritional yeast be substituted?

      • Rene

        September 12, 2018 at 5:16 pm

        Hey Hayley - I use store-bought. You can see the brand I use linked in step #5. And I personally don't like nutritional yeast (I know, what kind of vegan am I?), but if you like the flavor of nutritional yeast you could use it. I just can't vouch for the how it will taste.
