Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 1 large sweet onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 28 ounces Diced Tomatoes or 3 cups fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup cashews raw & unsalted
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Instructions
 

  • 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.
