INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
175g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup White Beans (rinsed)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and a little pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until slightly blistered and softened.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes. In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the tofu over medium heat until edges are golden. Add the white beans in the last 2 minutes to warm through.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a splash of water if needed. Blend until smooth to create your creamy pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, toss the warm gnocchi with the blended pesto. Gently fold in the sautéed tofu and white beans. Top with the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, creamy, and savory flavors.
