Is all gnocchi vegan?

Most store-bought gnocchi varieties are vegan. However, it's always best to check the package to make sure. Many homemade gnocchi recipes do contain egg, so if you are trying to make gnocchi from scratch you'll need to use a recipe that is specifically made vegan.

How do you know when gnocchi is cooked?

I like to pierce a gnocchi with a fork to ensure they are tender and cooked.

Instructions

Cook Gnocchi - Start by boiling a pot of salted water and cooking the gnocchi according to the package directions. Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy water. Don't overcook the gnocchi as it can cook more when added to the sauce.
Start the Sauce - While the gnocchi is cooking, start the sauce by heating the oil in a large skillet and cook the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, roasted peppers, and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Finish Creamy Sauce - Add the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the starchy gnocchi water, stirring to combine and bring to a gentle to simmer until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in the Parmesan Cheese, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
Add Cooked Gnocchi - Add the cooked gnocchi to the creamy sauce in the skillet. Toss to combine.
Serve - Serve with extra grated parmesan and red pepper flakes.

Notes

Leftovers and Storage: Leftovers will keep fresh in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Reheating: For best results, I recommend reheating the leftovers in a pan on the stove over medium heat. However, you can also microwave for a quick meal. You can add a splash of cream or even water to help loosen the sauce up.
