Vegan Gnocchi, a super easy dish to make when you fancy something like pasta… but not ACTUALLY pasta. Just two ingredients go into it, and it’s ready in a flash…
Gnocchi is one of my absolute favourite things to make mid week, or have on hand ready to go any time. It’s only got two ingredients, potato and flour, which means it’s totally vegan!
You can cover it in your favourite sauce, or simply make it ahead and keep it in the fridge to be reheated at your convenience.

- Peel and boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until completely soft.
- Mash the potatoes thoroughly, preferably using a potato ricer.
- Add the flour gradually and work it into the potato completely before adding more. Continue kneading until all the flour is used up and you have a dough that isn't sticky but is still soft.
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each one into a sausage shape about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the sausage into 1 inch chunks. If you want to, roll each piece down the back of a fork (as demonstrated in the video). Rolling the pieces down the fork is optional.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop the gnocchi pieces into the water in small batches. When they float to the top they are ready, so fish them out with a slotted spoon. At this point you can either add them to your favourite sauce, or pop them in the fridge, covered, to reheat later.
