But now on to dinner - one of my all time favorite dishes to make when in a bind is gnocchi. It is easy and yet so delicious. All you need is potatoes, flour, salt, and olive oil. And yes, a little time but it all comes together quite easy. - We had a bunch of fresh spinach left from last week's CSA delivery so the perfect topping for tonight's Gnocchi...
First make the Gnocchi
Florentine Sauce
Splash of Olive Oil
2 garlic cloves minced
1 bunch of spinach - washed and coarsely chopped
2 Tbl lemon juice
2 Tbl pesto {I had frozen pesto without cheese that I made in the summer}
2 Tbl Tofuti Sour Cream
Salt, and pepper to taste
1. heat olive oil and when warm add garlic. After a minute or so, add
2. Spinach, lemon juice and cover pot. When spinach is wilted add,
3. Pesto {reduce heat}, and Tofuti. Adjust salt and pepper to taste
Place Gnocchi on a serving dish - top with Florentine Sauce and toss. Serve - optional - with generous serving of grated Parmesiano Regiano.
Okay here is the picture...it was really good, I know the picture is not very good {as Ron said you cannot make it look good}

i didnt realize how easy it is so make gnocchi at home. I am so glad to come across your blog :) will be reading more of your posts and galactosemia journey with your daughters
Thank you, Dixya :) - It is so simple to make Gnocchi - I sometimes make the potatoes the night before and all that is left to do is put together the dough, roll, cut, and throw into a pot to boil.
I look forward to hear from you again. ~ Bea
Mmm! When I was a kid, my grandmother made gnocchi every time we visited ... all of her grandchildren loved it. It was always in a traditional red sauce. I think this Florentine sauce would be fabulous. Thank you for posting another vegan recipe. :-)
As always, thank you so much Small Footprints. I very much appreciate your kind words ~ Bea
