Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Gnocchi in Pumpkin Sauce 4 cups whole wheat gnocchi 1 1/2 cups pureed pumpkin 1 1/2 cups almond milk 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt Basil Cream: 1/4 cup raw cashews, presoaked in water for 12 hours 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup fresh basil 1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper 1. To make the basil cream, drain the soaked cashews. In a blender or food processor, blend cashews with 1/4 cup water, basil and pepper until the mixture has the consistency of a thick cream, meaning it should slowly drip off a spoon. 2. Boil the gnocchi until they float, then drain in a colander. Shock them with a quick spritz of cold water from your faucet. 3. To prepare the sauce, mix the pureed pumpkin with the almond milk, nutmeg and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the gnocchi. Simmer for another minute. 4. Assemble the dish by placing the gnocchi and sauce on the plates. Add dots or swirls of basil cream.
