Creamy Squash Gnocchis
What could be more comforting as autumn sets in than creamy gnocchi?
It’s squash time, so here’s an ultra-creamy sauce made with roasted squash and silken tofu, two key ingredients that add a creamy touch without the use of dairy products.
The fun thing about this sauce is that you can enjoy it with pasta, but also as a soup!
By the way, the recipe produces a good quantity of sauce, so I recommend freezing half of it to have a meal ready for those busy days.
I hope you enjoy!
