Print Recipe

A cozy, plant-based gnocchi dish combining creamy white beans and tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a vibrant, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white beans (cannellini or navy beans)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated vegan Parmesan
  • Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the white beans, then pat dry.
  2. Mash the beans in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Add sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add flour and knead gently until a dough forms. Add more flour if sticky.
  5. Divide dough into four parts. Roll into ropes about 1-inch thick.
  6. Cut into 1-inch pieces and indent gently with a fork.
  7. Boil salted water and cook gnocchi in batches until they float (2-3 minutes). Remove with slotted spoon.
  8. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
  9. Add gnocchi to skillet, toss in garlic oil. Add broth and simmer for 2 minutes.
  10. Stir in fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve with optional toppings.

Notes

Avoid over-kneading to keep the gnocchi light. Don’t over-flour the dough. Use a gentle boil when cooking gnocchi to prevent breakage.
