This simple gnocchi dish makes a luxurious and delicious vegan weeknight meal! Ready in less than 20 minutes.

Mushroom Gnocchi

It's All About That Sauce!


I really love the flavours this dish offers with its juicy mushrooms and balanced, creamy sauce. The cashews used to make the sauce really help bring this dish together, and the truffle oil brings in the wow factor!

With the meatiness of the mushrooms, cheesiness from the nutritional yeast, and creaminess from the sauce, I'd say it is decadent enough without the need for vegan cheese.

How To Make This Dish


This easy Italian-style vegan dish is good enough to make for company, so if you're not sure what to serve at your vegan dinner party, here's an idea! I used common white mushrooms, though baby portabellas would work just as well.


To make this creamy mushroom gnocchi is just so easy. You start by sautéing the mushrooms, onion, and garlic with some oil. Then, after the mushrooms have taken on some browning, you add the cashew sauce, which you've made by blending the cashews with some unsweetened plant-based milk, your other ingredients. Finish off by adding fresh potato gnocchi. Leave that to cook through, and then you are ready to serve. The sauce is just so tasty with a touch of garlic oil.

There's Types of Gnocchi?!


I used fresh potato gnocchi to make this dish. Since I've started using the fresh type, there is no going back for me. I find the texture much nicer than the dried cupboard section gnocchi, though any would work with this dish; in my opinion, if you can get it, fresh is always best.


Also, if you're feeling creative and have time to spare, you can also make your own potato gnocchi at home easily - find a recipe here.
