Homemade Vegan “Cheese” Sauce w/ Grain-Free Gnocchi
If you are craving a cheesy comfort meal, I’ve got you covered! I have been feeling extra creative in the kitchen lately, and really wanted to make a “cheese” sauce made from vegetables.
Give my creation a try :)
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 large carrot
1 can of full-fat coconut milk
4-6 tbsp of nutritional yeast (add more or less based on flavor preference)
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp of turmeric
1/2 tsp thyme
salt and pepper
2 boxes of Cappello’s Gnocchi
Directions:
Bake whole sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until soft.
Add the carrot (drizzled with a little olive oil or coconut oil) to the pan after sweet potatoes have been cooking for about 20 min.
Boil water for the gnocchi.
Let potatoes and carrot cool for about 10 min, then remove the skin from the potatoes and place them in a blender with the carrot. Add coconut milk a little bit at a time until you blend to a desired consistency.
Add the garlic, nutritional yeast, turmeric, thyme, salt, and pepper and blend again.
Add gnocchi to water once it boils and follow directions on the box.
Once gnocchi is done, place it in a bowl and top with sauce. Sprinkle with thyme and pepper and enjoy!
