This recipe marries the bold flavours of tomato and red pesto with the creamy texture of vegan cream cheese, creating a sauce that’s both lush and tangy. With the foundation of umami from shallots and garlic, and a refreshing hit of lemon juice, the sauce perfectly complements the tender gnocchi. Each bite offers a balance of savoury depth and bright acidity, making for a dish that’s rich in taste and satisfying in texture.
