MUSHROOM STROGANOFF GNOCCHI [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE GNOCCHI:

• 1 16-ounce package of vegan gnocchi

FOR THE SAUCE:

• 1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight or for at least 2 hours
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped

PREPARATION

1. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes, or until translucent, then add in the mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for another 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender. Add the wine, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper and turn the heat up to high. Let the wine reduce by about half.
2. While the wine is reducing, boil some water for your gnocchi and prepare according to package. Also, drain your soaked cashews and blend with 1 cup of vegetable broth in a high-speed blender for 1-5 minutes (depending on strength of blender). You want the cashew mixture to be very smooth.
3. Pour the cashew mixture into the sauce and stir. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened as desired.
4. Once the gnocchi are done cooking, drain them, and add them to the sauce. Toss to coat, then serve with some freshly chopped parsley and some white wine.
