Instructions

  1. 1

    Place all ingredients except the olive oil (6 tbsp) in a food processor and process until finely chopped.

  2. 2

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil (6 tbsp). Process until smooth (there will still be a little texture, but mostly smooth), adding a little more [olive oil] or [water] if needed to help it blend.

  3. 3

    Set aside while you prepare the gnocchi.

  4. 4

    In a large deep skillet or pot, add pesto (0.5 cup), coconut milk (13.5 oz) and white wine (0.25 cup). Stir and warm over medium heat.

  5. 5

    When the sauce starts to simmer, add the gnocchi (1 lb) and give it a good stir.

  6. 6

    Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered for mins (5), stirring occasionally.

  7. 7

    The sauce will thicken as the gnocchi cooks, so add a little [water] if needed. Add [salt black], to taste and stir in the baby spinach (3 cups). Cook for another min (1) to mins (2) until the [baby spinach] has wilted.

  8. 8

    Test the gnocchi- at this point, it should be softened but not mushy. Cook an additional min (1) or mins (2) if needed.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately with a sprinkle [vegan parmesan] cheese and enjoy!
