3. Lunch recipe: Gnocchi in "cheesy" pesto -sauce

Okay, so this blogpost starts with a photo:

Yummy! Looks quite cheesy, doesn't it? I was aiming for that! Vegaliens usually love cheesy stuff that does not really consist of cheese.

Hmm … cheese … come to think about it … damn. No cheese. Cheese summarily means killing calves and cows.

Honstely, that's the hardest part of being a vegalien: not to be able to eat cheese. 

But back to my recipe: I was supposed to cook for 3 persons today and I had no plan whatsoever. I only new I wanted to do some pesto-like white creamy sauce. And I still had a package of egg-free gnocchi in my cupboard.The result: Gnocchi in "cheesy" pesto -sauce! 

You'll need:

• 1 onion
• 3-4 green onions
• 2 tbs of flower
• 1 package of soy cooking cream or soy whipped cream
• water and/or vegetable stock
• half a can of cashews
• 1 green pepper
• pepper, salt
• curry powder
• paprika spice
• soy sauce
• 1 tbs tomato purée/ crushed tomatoes/ ketchup
• 1 package of egg-free gnocchis

1. Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Chop the onions up into cubes and accordingly the green onions into slices. Fry the onions and the green onions for 5 min.
2. Pour 2 tablespoons of flower into the pan. Blend with the onions. Roast and stir the creamy mass.
