Instructions

Prepare Aromatics: Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. This creates the flavor base for the sauce.
Heat Oil or Vegan Butter: In a large skillet, heat the oil or vegan butter over medium heat until hot.
Sauté Onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add Sage and Garlic: Stir in the chopped sage and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add Seasonings and Liquids: Stir in salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, white wine, dairy-free cream or milk, and thawed peas. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Simmer Sauce: Reduce heat to a simmer and add the uncooked gnocchi. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more dairy-free cream or milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a few more minutes until it reaches desired consistency.
Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan, taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed, then serve hot garnished with extra sage if desired.

Notes

Gnocchi: I used vegan & gluten-free gnocchi.
Wine: You can substitute with vegetable broth instead of white wine.
Dairy-free cream: Options include oat cream, thin cashew cream, soy cream, canned coconut milk. Using dairy-free milk will make the sauce lighter but less creamy.
