Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Gnocchi (gluten-free used)
- 12 oz Marinara, store-bought or homemade
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/3 cup tahini
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the gnocchi according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface.
- Once cooked, drain the gnocchi in a colander, being careful not to leave them in the water too long to avoid mushiness.
- Transfer the gnocchi back to the same pot over medium heat to warm them slightly.
- Add the marinara sauce, tahini, and chopped garlic to the pot. Stir well to combine the ingredients evenly. Allow the mixture to heat for about 2-3 minutes until hot and the garlic is fragrant.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Depending on your taste, you can add more nutritional yeast to enhance the cheesy flavor.
- Once everything is well mixed and warm, serve the gnocchi in bowls or on plates. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for added visual appeal and freshness.

Keywords: Avoid overcooking the gnocchi to prevent them from falling apart. Use a large pan to heat the sauce for even mixing and to prevent sticking. Fresh herbs like basil or oregano can intensify the flavor. Feel free to adjust the tahini amount for desired creaminess.
