This Vegan Gnocchi with Tomato Cream Sauce recipe is a bold & flavorful pasta dish swimming in a velvety creamy sauce - meatless & dairy free. This dish is ready in 30 minutes and makes an easy weeknight meal the whole family will love.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package directions and set aside.
In another pot, add the olive oil and sauté the garlic and onions over low heat, for about 6 to 7 minutes until they begin to shimmer. Add the diced tomatoes, cashews, vegetable stock, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook covered for 25 minutes.
Once sauce is finished cooking, carefully remove the pot from the heat. Transfer the vegetables to a blender (or use an immersion hand blender in the pot). Blend in high until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Toss sauce with gnocchi and serve hot. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil, and enjoy.
