Ingredients

Units Scale

Oil and Aromatics

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp oil or vegan butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 Tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Liquids

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine (80 ml)
  • 1 1/4 cups dairy-free cream or milk (300 ml)

Vegetables and Pasta

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed (150 g)
  • 400 g uncooked gnocchi (gluten-free vegan option)

Finish and Garnish

  • Vegan Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the aromatics: Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat the oil or vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add sage and garlic: Stir in the chopped sage and minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add seasonings and liquids: Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the Dijon mustard. Pour in the white wine and cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the dairy-free cream and peas, stirring well and bringing the mixture to a boil.
  5. Simmer and cook gnocchi: Reduce the heat to low, add the gnocchi, and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Adjust consistency: If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit more dairy-free cream or milk. If too thin, let it simmer a few more minutes to thicken.
  7. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan cheese, taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Gnocchi: I used vegan & gluten-free gnocchi.
  • Wine: You can substitute with vegetable broth instead of white wine.
  • Dairy-free cream: Options include oat cream, thin cashew cream, soy cream, or canned coconut milk. For a lower fat sauce, use dairy-free milk but note it may be less creamy.
