Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Fork
  • Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Potatoes (Russet or Idaho) Starchy potatoes are key
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Adjust as needed
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or oil Adds richness
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast For cheesy flavor
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Tomatoes (fresh or canned) Use good quality
  • 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal For flax egg
  • 3 tablespoons Water For flax egg

Instructions
 

  • Boil the potatoes until soft. Mash them well. Let them cool slightly.
  • Add the flour, vegan butter, and nutritional yeast. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Don't overmix!
  • Shape the dough into a ball. Cover it and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the dough into a long rope, about 1 inch thick. Cut the rope into small pieces (about 1 inch long). Use a fork to make ridges on each piece.
  • Boil water in a large pot. Add your gnocchi. They are done when they float to the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook them; they'll become mushy.
  • If using fresh tomatoes, chop them. Sauté the tomatoes in olive oil with garlic for a rich flavor. Add herbs like basil or oregano for extra taste. Simmer until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens.
  • If using canned tomatoes, open the can and add the tomatoes to a pan with some olive oil and garlic. Simmer until the sauce reduces to your desired consistency.
  • Gently toss the cooked gnocchi with your warm pomodoro sauce. Make sure all the gnocchi are coated.

Notes

Remember to use starchy potatoes for fluffy gnocchi, and don't overcook them! A little vinegar in your sauce adds brightness. Experiment with herbs and spices to personalize your dish.
