One Pot Pasta Sausage Gnocchi VEGAN
I am all about that #CarbLife . Pasta should be it’s own food group and it should be the biggest one, so I can eat even more of it! If I could I would eat pasta 3 meals a day without regrets. Since I am getting married in less than 3 months – this is not an option for me – at this time. So right now I am forced to enjoy pasta only once a week… darn you wedding dress! If you’re on any sort of #detox #lowcarb #someotherdietthatshoudntmatter and you’re looking for a cheat day, or a quick easy and healthy dinner- this is your new go to!
Seriously, this dinner takes 20 mins or less! Don’t believe me? Check out the video above where I show you JUST how easy it can be! Plus it’s all done in one pot, so you’ve got less dishes to do later. To make this easy and delicious Spinach and Sausage Gnocchi heat up some oil in a large skillet, add in garlic and onions and then sauté them. Now crumble up some vegan sausage and mix it in along with 1/4 cup of vegetable broth and 1 can of diced tomatoes Mix that all together and then add in a package of store bought Gnocchi. Cover you pan and let your ingredients cook for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes sprinkle spinach over the top along with a little pepper, mix your ingredients together again, cover your pan and cook the whole thing for about 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes add in your vegan parmesan, give the ingredients another stir and you are done. Now that wasn’t so hard was it? This paragraph only took me 3 mins to write, and this pasta will be just as easy 🙂

Delicious and easy to make! I’ve never bought vegan sausage so wasn’t sure about this recipe. Super fast and tasty! Def part of our weeknight dinner relations. Even non vegan children love it!
