Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces (450 g) dairy-free potato gnocchi (use a gluten-free variety to make this recipe gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 ounces (225 g) grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, chopped (or chopped regular tomatoes)
Liquid Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 ml) coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk (or more, to taste)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable broth (or more, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Seasonings & Herbs
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (or adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground or cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon onion powder or chopped onion
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- ½ cup (12 g) fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Set a timer for 7 minutes to ensure precise cooking. Gather all your ingredients and have them ready for quick addition to the pot.
- Sauté gnocchi and tomatoes. In a nonstick pot over high heat, add the olive oil, chopped tomatoes, and dairy-free potato gnocchi. This step initiates cooking and infuses the gnocchi with fresh tomato flavor.
- Add liquids and seasonings. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut cream for a creamy base. Sprinkle in sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, light brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine all elements evenly.
- Cook and stir. Continue cooking for the remaining time on your timer, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Monitor the gnocchi for tenderness and the sauce for creaminess. Adjust thickness by adding extra vegetable broth or coconut cream as needed.
- Finish with fresh basil and serve. Stir in the fresh basil leaves just before serving to add a burst of herby aroma and flavor. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your quick, vegan one-pot meal!
