A simple and delicious 3-ingredient vegan gnocchi recipe paired with a flavorful garlic white wine sauce, perfect for a quick and comforting plant-based meal. This dish combines soft homemade gnocchi with a savory mushroom and garlic sauce, topped with toasted walnuts for added crunch.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

For the Gnocchi Dough

  • 3 Potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling

For the White Wine Sauce

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, thinly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Boil cubed potatoes until tender. Then mash them thoroughly using a potato masher or potato ricer until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Mix dough ingredients: Place the mashed potatoes and salt in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and gradually mix in the flour, half a cup at a time, kneading with clean hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Rest the dough: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten and improve texture.
  4. Shape the gnocchi: Divide dough into manageable portions. Roll each into a rope about 3/4 inch thick, then cut into bite-sized rectangles. Shape each piece by rolling and pressing with a fork to create traditional gnocchi ridges.
  5. Cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop gnocchi in and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain, reserving 3 teaspoons of cooking water.
  6. Prepare the white wine sauce: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped red onion until translucent. Add mushrooms and garlic, continuing to cook for 5 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Deglaze and reduce: Pour in the white wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by about half.
  8. Combine gnocchi and sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi and reserved cooking water to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté together for 3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish and serve: Serve the gnocchi topped with chopped basil and toasted walnuts for texture and flavor enhancement.

Notes

  • Use a potato ricer if possible for a smoother gnocchi dough.
  • If you forget to save the cooking water, substitute with vegetable broth or regular water to help the sauce bind to the gnocchi.
  • The dough should be soft and slightly sticky; avoid adding too much flour to keep gnocchi tender.
  • Feel free to experiment with different sauce options such as vegan Alfredo or tomato-based sauces.
  • Toast walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant to enhance flavor.
