Vegan Pesto and Gnocchi with zoodles is a delicious and healthy meal. This is something you can prep ahead of time to make it much easier to assemble for dinner and throw in the oven.

I used homemade vegan pesto which is incredibly easy to make. For this recipe I made a double batch because I’m feeding four very hungry people. The double batch made plenty to cover my dish and then some. You can watch me make the pesto and tofu ricotta or Click Here for my recipe. In the recipe below, you can always replace these homemade options with store bought pesto and ricotta to make this dish just as delicious.

Gnocchi

Gnocchi is generally vegan but I always double check when purchasing. It is a potato dumpling that goes great with pasta sauce and pasta like meals. For this recipe I made two packages that boil in 1 min and it fed my very hungry family.

Zoodles

Zoodles are spiralized zucchini. They tend to let out a lot of water, I suggest placing them on a towel or paper towel with salt for a few minutes before assemble the dish to bake.

Toppings

I topped this dish with some extra pine nuts and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese! My favorite brand so far has been Follow Your Heat shredded parm or Violife parm that comes in a block.
