Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

• Generous handful of Chilli & Lime Cashews
• 2-3 sundried tomatoes
• ½ red chilli (adjust to taste)
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• Generous splash of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gnocchi:

For Garnish:

• Fresh basil leaves
• Nutritional yeast flakes (for a vegan option) or Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce
   Add the chilli & lime cashew nuts, sundried tomatoes, red chilli, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with a little water if needed.
   
2. Cook the Gnocchi
   Heat a pan over medium heat and add the par-boiled gnocchi. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat evenly. Cook for about 3 minutes until heated through.

   Divide the gnocchi between two plates. Top with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast flakes to keep it vegan, or Parmesan for a non-vegan option.
   

Serving Suggestion 

This dish is a satisfying and complete meal on its own, but you could pair it with a simple side salad to complement the flavours and add a fresh, light touch to the meal.
