    Potato Gnocchi with Vegan Cheese Sauce

    These potato gnocchi with cheese sauce are not only quick and easy to make requiring 8 ingredients, 20 min of your time and a high-speed blender. They're also healthier than 90% of the potato gnocchi recipes out there! I'm saying this because instead of making a (heavy) traditional cheese-sauce we're replacing cheese with nutritional yeast.

    In case you don't know it nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that comes in the form of powder or flakes. The reason it's so famous among people who ditch dairy is because it has a similar taste to cheese which makes it perfect to make dairy-free cheese-sauces or plant-based cheese.

    The great thing about nutritional yeast is that it does not only taste great but it comes packed with protein, B vitamins and minerals. So now that you know what it is you might probably be wondering where you can get it, right? The easiest way to get it is buying it on-line (it's 2019 after all :P!) but you'll find it easily in any health shop and in a couple of supermarkets.

    The vegan cheese sauce is super easy and fast to prepare. All you need to do is sauteing onion, garlic and rosemary for a couple of minutes, placing them in a high-speed blender, adding nutritional yeast, cream, salt & pepper and process until creamy. And voilà, the sauce is ready!

    Regarding the Potato Gnocchi: I used store-bought gnocchi for this recipe, but if you have time you can of course make them yourself 🙂
