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!
