Ingredients
Gnocchi: Potato, pasta flour, egg, plain flour.
Sauce: 4 tbs cashew cream, 100ml water, 1 avocado
This is a combination of two of my recipes: gnocchi and cashew cream as a serving suggestion, but it's also a great way to use up a ripe avocado. If like me you eat them pretty much daily, there will always be one in your fruit bowl (ahem... bucket might be a more apt description in my case...) and this is a great, healthy supper with a protein-rich sauce.
1) My recipe for gnocchi here. If you would like to make this vegan, just omit the egg.
2) My recipe for cashew nut cream here.
3) Bring the gnocchi to the boil in a large pan of salted water. Once the little dumplings float to the surface, they're done.
4) Slice the avocado in half and use a tablespoon to scoop it from the shell. If the avocado is ripe enough the stone will pop out with a spoon but another good method is to prick it with a knife and pull it out. Pop into your food processor, squish through a potato ricer or mash with a fork/masher and add to the cashew cream. I like to flavor this up with a little mustard and salt sometimes but the delicate creamy flavor is lovely just as it is. Drain the gnocchi and stir into the sauce.
