Ingredients

Cajun Spice Blend

For The Gnocchi

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 4 Vegan spicy sausages, I used Beyond Meat(chopped)
  • 1/2 a Sweet onion, diced
  • 1 Cup Sweet or bell peppers, diced
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 1 Pound(16oz) Gnocchi, vegan
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Agave syrup
  • 1 Cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 Cup Vegan heavy cream, I used Country Crock Plant Cream*
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • Start by making your Cajun spice blend. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil on medium high. Add the chopped sausages and sauté, reducing heat as needed until the sausage is golden brown. About 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  • Now, add the onions, peppers and garlic to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft. About 3-5 minutes.
  • Then add the gnocchi to the skillet and toss to combine with the peppers, onions and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes just to toast the gnocchi a bit.
  • Then add the Cajun seasoning you made, the tomato paste, agave, broth and cream. Stir to combine everything fully.
  • Add a few pinches of salt.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and let the gnocchi simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Taste and adjust seasonings. Adding more salt or agave if needed.
  • Pour the cooked sausage back into the skillet and toss to combine everything. Add fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

*If you can't find vegan heavy cream, regular non-dairy milk will work fine, it just won't be quite as creamy.
