One Pan Gnocchi Pesto Bake

We love the simplicity of this dish and it’s a great option for meal prep. You can also substitute vegan pesto for olive tapenade – or even rose harissa paste (trust us, it totally works!).

Notes

• You can easily make this recipe gluten-free using gluten-free gnocchi. It’s also worth checking the label of the vegan pesto to be sure it doesn’t contain any gluten.
• If you don’t own an oven-proof pan, simply cook everything in a regular pan. Then at step 6, transfer the mixture to an oven dish, top with the vegan cheese and follow the remaining steps.
• You can try making your own vegan red pesto using our recipe for homemade sun-dried tomato pesto in our Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Arancini Balls (simply store any leftover pesto in a jar in the fridge).
• Sometimes we’ll switch things up and substitute vegan pesto with rose harissa paste or olive tapenade.
• This gnocchi is great for meal-prepping. Store in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months, then defrost fully before reheating in the oven or microwave.
