There were so many ways I could have gone wrong tonight. And, for the first 3/4 of the way through eating, I thought I did. I intentionally butchered the Vegan with a Vengeance Gnocci recipe, completely on purpose, completely disregarding consequence.
Replacing russet potatoes with sweet potatoes, all purpose flour with gluten-free flour, adding spinach. You name it, I did it. It wasn’t until I took my first mushy bite that I wondered why I had wasted my time.
But I kept eating.
I got up to put the rest of the pesto in the fridge.
And then I ate some more.
And it was at that moment that I theoretically kicked myself in the tush for not being a little more patient.
For not waiting five minutes for my food to cool before diving in.
For if I had waited five minutes… The gnocci would have firmed and I would have had myself a darn good gnocci dinner.
The gnocci is covered in Vegan with a Vengeance Classic Pesto. And vegan or not, this recipe is the jam and I could eat it by the spoonful.

I liked the picture better than I liked the receipe.

im glad to hear you liked this recipe… i tried a store bought sweet potato gnocchi a couple months ago and ate it with alfredo sauce and didnt like it… the gnocchi was a bit bland! i wanted to try and make homemade instead to see what i thought about it before i dismissed gnocchi from my life. i like the addition of spinach. ill have to grab my copy of vegan with a vengeance and try it with pesto!

If you’re not concerned about gluten, my guess is regular all purpose flour works even better. Let me know how it turns out!
