Ingredients

For the gnocchi

  • 1 package firm tofu (300g)
  • 2 cups gluten-free oats
  • Salt, pepper and seasonings to taste (I used only salt and pepper)

For the sauce

  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • Coarsely chopped tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  1. 1Add the tofu and oats to a blender and blend until you get a slightly sticky dough.
  2. 2Lay out parchment paper and place the dough on it. If needed, add more oat flour (grinding oats in a spice grinder makes excellent flour).
  3. 3Roll the dough into ropes and cut with a knife into the gnocchi size you like.
  4. 4Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, drop in the gnocchi for a short cook - when the gnocchi float, they're ready.
  5. 5For the sauce: lightly fry 4 garlic cloves in olive oil, add the coarsely chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  6. 6Toss the gnocchi in the sauce so they absorb the flavors, and at the end of cooking add fresh basil.

And this time? Gnocchi! Very, very high in protein, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and of course vegan. Love your body, nourish it with good things, enjoy ❤️ Bon appetit
