Spinach & Walnut Gnocchi in Garlic Sauce

Spinach & Walnut Gnocchi in Garlic Sauce

More spinach! In a big cooking mood and haven’t ever made gnocchi before so here we go.

Ingredients

750g potato (1 bag of baby potatoes or equivalent of large)

1/4 bag spinach (1/3 cup when blended)

1 cup flour (and more for dusting)

1/2 cup walnuts

Rosemary

Garlic sauce: 2 tbsp butter, 1/3 cup flour, 3-5 cloves garlic (to taste), 2-3 cups dairy free milk

1. Peel and boil potatoes. When done, mash up without adding liquid (or use only a spoon or two of dairy free milk).

2. Put walnuts and spinach in a blender. Add to the mashed potato. Add flour.

3. Roll dough into long snake like shapes about two fingers thick and cut off small bits (as shown). Flatten with fork or other to make a design.

4. Boil a pot of water, and when boiled, add the gnocchi in 5-6 at a time. Watch until they rise, then remove immediately with a spoon with holes in it (or equivalent). Continue to do so until all boiled.

5. For the garlic sauce, melt butter on a low heat in a pot and sprinkle the flour in while stirring. Add dairy free milk slowly and break any clumps. Add chopped garlic and then boil off until desired consistency on a low heat. Add to gnocchi and sprinkle with rosemary.

We ate them with a falafel salad.
