Vegan Mushroom Sauce with Gnocchi
Check My Pulse • Oct 31, 2020
YOU’LL NEED
Here are the basic ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:
*mushrooms: I used chestnut mushrooms.
*gnocchi: you can buy great quality gluten free and vegan or make your own.
*garlic: I used fresh garlic, alternatively, you can use garlic powder or garlic paste.
*yogurt: I used vegan yogurt but if you’re not on a dairy free diet you should add crème fresh or soured cream for best results.
*paprika powder: I like to use the sweet one, but if spicy is your thing get the hot one. By the way, Hungarian paprika is considered to be the best in colour and taste, that’s what I use.
IDEAS/TIPS
Adding some fresh herbs or other toppings can add to the taste and nutrition. See a few examples here:
*fresh herbs: parsley or basil for example
*vegan cheese
*pine nuts
*for crispier results in this recipe I roasted the gnocchi in a separate pan. If you prefer you can add the cooked gnocchi to the mushroom sauce instead and cook for 1-3 minutes together.
*a creamy mushroom sauce often starts from roux, which is just a basically fat and flour cooked together to thicken sauces. My recipe uses a shortcut so I added vegan yogurt instead.
HEALTH BENEFITS
This mushroom cream sauce is not only tasty but also vegan and low in calories as I used yogurt instead of cream. Mushroom has so many health benefits, some consider it as a superfood. Let’s have a quick look at the benefits of eating mushrooms.
*antioxidants, hence mushroom provides some protection against conditions like heart disease and cancer.
*mushrooms are weight loss-friendly.
*they may boost memory and protect the brain.
*they’re heart friendly due to their B vitamins.
