Each recipe is simplified to the point of no return. These rebels do what they want including eating the best meals in the galaxy. 

Ingredients


  • 4 cups butternut squash, diced
  • 3 cups gluten free flour (plus more for rolling)
  • 2 tablespoons gram (chickpea) flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Boil, bake or steam your butternut squash until very soft.
  2. Mash the butternut squash until smooth.
  3. On a board or in a bowl, add the butternut squash, gluten free flour, gram flour and salt.
  4. Mix until it all comes together and you have a tight yet spongey dough. Depending on the moisture content of your squash, you may need to add more flour. Just keep adding until you have the right consistency.
  5. On a floured board, take a piece of the dough and roll it into a rope.
  6. Cut the rope into bite sized pieces.
  7. Roll each piece over the tines of a fork and place on a floured dish until ready to boil.
  8. Bring a big, heavily salted pot of water to the boil.
  9. Add the gnocchi, taking care not to overcrowd the pot. (This will cause them to stick together) If your pot is small, cook the gnocchi in batches.
  10. Once the gnocchi float, they are ready. Drain, top with any sauce and enjoy.

Hi! I’m Melissa (Mel). I’m an Italian/Canadian living in the UK. I have always loved to cook and eat. My grandmother and mother introduced me to the art of cooking, but it wasn’t until I began travelling that I was truly captivated by the world of food. I love turning classic dishes from around the world into healthy vegan delights. My mission is to show others how exciting, flavourful and simple vegan food can be.
