Instructions

Purée the base
Finely blend the skyr alternative and frozen spinach together until a smooth, uniform green mixture forms.
Knead dough
Add the remaining ingredients for the gnocchi and knead everything thoroughly into a smooth dough.
Gnocchi molds
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and use scissors to cut the dough into bite-sized pieces directly into the boiling water.
Scoop out the gnocchi
As soon as the gnocchi float to the surface of the water, remove them with a slotted spoon.
Sear
Fry the gnocchi in a pan until golden brown, and add the chopped onion shortly before the end.
Add garlic
When the onion has become slightly translucent, add the grated garlic and sauté briefly.
Bring the sauce to a boil
Add the vegetable broth, soy cuisine, vegan Parmesan, and nutritional yeast, and bring briefly to a boil. If the consistency is too thick, simply add a little water.
Season to taste
Season the creamy sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy
Serve the gnocchi in the creamy Parmesan sauce and enjoy immediately.
