Description

A delightful blend of traditional tikka masala flavors with pillowy gnocchi, all roasted together for a hearty and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package gnocchi (store-bought)
  • 1 cup cashew cream (soaked and blended raw cashews)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup canned tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 cup mushrooms (cremini or button), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic, ginger, and onions until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a blender, combine soaked cashews, canned tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, coriander, and a pinch of salt. Blend until creamy, adding water if needed for a smoother texture.
  5. Toss the gnocchi and sautéed mushrooms with the cashew sauce on the prepared sheet pan. Spread evenly.
  6. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the gnocchi are crispy and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve hot!

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute cashew cream with coconut milk. Ensure the sheet pan isn’t overcrowded for even roasting.
