INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
190g Firm Tofu
55g Cooked Chickpeas
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, spread the cherry tomatoes (with a drizzle of olive oil if desired, salt, and pepper) and roast for about 12-15 minutes until they blister and soften.
While the tomatoes roast, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions, usually until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the firm tofu, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, and garlic clove. Blend until smooth, adding a small splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, gently toss the warm gnocchi with the creamy basil pesto sauce. Fold in the cooked chickpeas for added texture and protein.
Transfer the gnocchi mixture to serving bowls and top with the roasted cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
