Any good recipes for a sauce to go with gnochhi?

Question

It needs to be a vegetarian sauce and prefabley not a tomato based sauce or too high in fat. Usually have pesto but fancy something different.

Answer 1

The best i've had is spinach and gorgonzola.
Wilt some spinach in a pan.(Fresh or frozen is fine )with a crushed garlic clove and a little olive oil.Add 1/2 pint double cream. Crumble in Gorgonzola to taste.Season with salt and black pepper.Easy on the salt as the cheese is quite salty.Done !top with parmesan.Delicious!!!

I forgot you said not to high in fat.Never mind,just go for a run after.

Answer 2

My personal fave is to make a simple brown gravy (I'm a veggie) based on vegetable broth! No added fat works just fine but I usually add a dash of Olive oil and for some added 'flair' a little scalded (to remove alcohol) Bourbon. Really simple and *very* tasty! If you'd like a recipe for my gravy either update the question or email me!

Answer 3

Found this one
1 pound assorted wild mushrooms, such as cremini, hedgehog, shiitake, or oyster
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup minced shallots(about 2 large)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 Vegetarian Stock
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon white truffle oil, optional
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves

Answer 4

Hmm, I tend to think a simple tomato-basil sauce is absolutely perfect with gnocchi, but I guess not for you!

Another really lovely one to try is using porcini mushrooms - saute them with a little garlic, onion and rosemary, then add vegetable stock and a bit of reduced fat creme fraiche (cream is nice, but higher in fat, obviously!) If you have any chestnuts available then crumbling in a few of those, roasted, is absolutely delicious.

Answer 5

White wine garlic and herb always goes well with a potatoe base such as gnochhi - the packet shwarts? are very good and try adding bits of chopped wafer thin ham and a few mushrooms - very tasty. Dont forget to add some pepper

Answer 6

Wizz up some galic,chives and corriander add some still white wine white pepper and if you like a bit of bite a pinch of cayenne pepper.Warm up but not to the boil.let it reduce to thicken or add a thickening agent or cornflour. ENJOY

Answer 7

Heat nonstick pan with olive oil, add gnocchi, 2 minced garlic cloves, handfull of chopped parsley or basil and lemon juice and white wine to taste, saute until done, season to taste with salt and pepper

Answer 8

Brown butter and fresh sage. Melt the butter in a pan until it becomes brown and add torn pieces of sage. Add cooked gnocchi to pan and saute for a couple of minutes. YUM!!!

Answer 9

mushroom sauce, white sauce.

i usually make it my self... but having everything white is not so good looking.

i would go for pumpkin or spinach sauce. i would pure the pumpkin or the spinach and add it to the white sauce instead of the mushrooms.
