Creamy Cauliflower Gnocchi

Vegan Creamy Cauliflower Gnocchi Recipe

Cauliflower is available all year round and we put it to good use in this gorgeous creamy gnocchi.

  • You can make this a low calorie meal (less than 400 kcal) by skipping the olive oil as a topping.
  • You can also turn this into a gluten-free meal using gluten-free gnocchi.
  • A medium cauliflower should yield approximately 400g (14.1oz) in florets. This is how much you’ll need to get the perfect creamy consistency in your sauce.
  • We use oat milk but you can use any plant-based milk you prefer.
  • Not all shop-bought gnocchi is vegan. Some contain milk so always check the labels to be 100% sure.
  • If you can’t find vegan parmesan, simply substitute this for nutritional yeast. We suggest adding a tablespoon at a time and adjusting to your taste.
  • Freshly ground whole nutmeg makes a huge difference. The flavour from whole spices, especially nutmeg, will add so much more flavour to your food.
