Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter or sub oil
  • 3-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest approx. 2 lemons
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated vegan parmesan I used Follow Your Heart
  • splash dairy-free milk unsweetened
  • fresh basil for serving

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prep the rest of the ingredients to you can work quickly once the water is boiling.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the gnocchi to the boiling water - cook the gnocchi for 3 minutes, or until they float to the top.
  • Add the garlic, lemon zest & a pinch of salt & pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently until the gnocchi is done - turn down the heat if the garlic starts to brown.
  • Drain the gnocchi and add it to the skillet with the parmesan and a splash of milk. Toss until the gnocchi is coated - add more milk if needed.
  • Transfer to plates, top with more parmesan & basil and dig in!

Notes

  • This isn't a super saucy sauce - the gnocchi will soak up a lot of the milk.
  • Be sure to wash your lemons before zesting them.
