Description

Marry Me Crispy Tofu with Gnocchi is a delightful vegan dish that combines crispy tofu with a rich, creamy sauce and tender gnocchi for a satisfying meal that’s both dairy-free and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces extra-firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • Sea salt + pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 7–8 large garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 mL) vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) white wine*
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 mL) oat milk or cashew cream
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour*
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup vegan cheese (either parmesan or vegan mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • chopped
  • 1–2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 6 ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes
  • drained and chopped (reserve 1 tbsp oil)
  • Sea salt + pepper to taste
  • 16 ounces vegan gnocchi (homemade gnocchi or store bought*)
  • Fresh basil to top

Instructions

  1. Begin by pressing the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes and toss with arrowroot starch, sea salt, and pepper.
  2. In a pan, heat vegan butter over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and white wine, bringing it to a simmer.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together oat milk (or cashew cream), all-purpose flour, tomato paste, vegan cheese, and red chili flakes until smooth.
  5. Add this mixture to the simmering broth, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Fold in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh parsley, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a separate pot, cook the vegan gnocchi according to package instructions, then drain and add to the sauce.
  8. Gently mix the gnocchi into the sauce until well-coated and heated through.
  9. Meanwhile, bake the tofu cubes in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes until crispy.
  10. Serve the gnocchi topped with the crispy tofu and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

For an extra kick, adjust the amount of red chili flakes according to your spice preference. If you prefer a different type of cheese, feel free to substitute with your favorite vegan cheese.
