Gnocchi with Rosemary-Butter Sauce

Lets start off a week of not eating raw with a hearty, delicious and super easy dish brought to you by Vegan Pandemonium.  If you like this dish (you will) then check out Vegan Pandemonium for more fast and easy recipes (and the cutest logo ever!).

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg gnocchi
• 1/4 cup vegan margarine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp rosemary, ground
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Whip it up…

• Prepare the gnocchi according to the instructions. It generally only takes about 2-3 minutes to cook.
• Meanwhile, in a saute pan, melt the margarine over medium heat. Then add the garlic and let it get tender and brown a little… about 4 minutes.
• Grind dried Rosemary with a mortar and pestle. (I wouldn’t recommend not using ground, otherwise the whole leaves get stuck in your teeth and overall it’s just not a pleasant texture.)
• Add the rosemary, salt and pepper and stir up for about 20 seconds.
• Finally, add the nutritional yeast. It will absorb most of the liquid and flavor and begin to clump up. Don’t worry, this is supposed to happen.
• Add the gnocchi into the pan and stir up. You will see that the heat and moisture from the gnocchi help the sauce melt a little and coat all the gnocchi. Keep stirring until you feel it is completely coated well.
• Feel free to garnish with more salt and pepper and nutritional yeast.
