Gnocchi in Pumpkin Sauce (www.vegsource.com)
Ingredients
4 cups whole wheat gnocchi
1 1/2 cups pureed pumpkin
1 1/2 cups almond milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Basil Cream:
1/4 cup raw cashews, presoaked in water for 12 hours
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper
Preparation
1. To make the basil cream, drain the soaked cashews. In a
blender or food processor, blend cashews with 1/4 cup water, basil
and pepper until the mixture has the consistency of a thick cream,
meaning it should slowly drip off a spoon.
2. Boil the gnocchi until they float, then drain in a colander.
Shock them with a quick spritz of cold water from your faucet.
3. To prepare the sauce, mix the pureed pumpkin with the almond
milk, nutmeg and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the gnocchi.
Simmer for another minute.
4. Assemble the dish by placing the gnocchi and sauce on the
plates. Add dots or swirls of basil cream.
