Let’s just let that settle in for a second.
A creamy white wine sauce paired with fresh gnocchi. We’re basically talking heaven.
I am a serious fan of gnocchi.
I mean how can you go wrong with little potato dumplings?
TSV TIP: Many brands of gnocchi are vegan by nature, but if you are having trouble finding one, you can find one here and here.
Now for this creamy white wine sauce we’re making you are obviously going to need some white wine.
Duh.
Finding vegan white wine can be a little bit of a struggle. BUT, luckily there is a handy dandy website that will tell you exactly which brands are vegan friendly.
And I swear this recipe makes finding a white wine worth your while.
Now, if you don’t like the flavor of white wine, you could omit it or add additional broth.
BUT, I highly recommend you keep the wine. It makes the sauce unique and super delicious.
The other “vegan” parts of this sauce are the butter, the parmesan and the “chicken” bouillon.
My personal preferences are Earth Balance Butter, GoVeggie Parmesan and Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base.
I’ve tried other brands and these are my ultimate go-to’s.
TSV TIP: If you use other brands, note that the salt level will vary. Be sure to taste as you go, and don’t add any additional salt until the end.
This is a perfect weeknight meal since it only takes 20 minutes, but would also be great for a date night or even Valentine’s Day 🙂

Can you use veggie stock in the place of the bouillon? If so how much would you suggest?
You really need to use a bouillon cube or paste since it is being used to add flavor rather than as a broth.
does it matter if the milk is flavored or not?
I would go for unsweetened, plain, non-dairy milk.
This is such a brilliant recipe!! So quick, full of delicious flavor, and filling! As a vegan of 2 years I know all too well how white sauce recipes can sometimes have a weird taste to them due to some of the substitute choices. This one does not at ALL. It is simply savory and delicious. Seriously was so impressed – give it a try!!
So glad you liked this! Life is too short to live without a good white sauce 🙂
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe! Does the gnocchi need to be cooked before adding it to the sauce pan? Thanks!
Yes. Just a quick boil and then into the sauce it goes 🙂
Thank you!!
I cannot believe how amazing this recipe was! My non-veg boyfriend thought I was a master chef, so I’ll be making this again very very soon. I didn’t have vegan parmesan (the goVeggie parmesan at my local store was not vegan!), so I diced up Daiya mozzarella, and it worked wonderfully! So pleased!
So glad you liked this – it is one of my faves! And glad you found a swap for the parmesan.
