- Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional / 180°C fan.
- Drain the butter beans, reserving some of the bean liquid. Add the gnocchi, butter beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, sun-dried tomato paste, oregano and chilli flakes to a large baking dish. Pour over the vegetable stock and add a splash of the reserved butter bean liquid. Season with sea salt and plenty of cracked black pepper, then give everything a really good stir so the sun-dried tomato paste is evenly distributed.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, giving everything a stir about halfway through, until the tomatoes have softened and the gnocchi is tender.
- While it cooks, make the plant parm by mixing together the nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, lemon zest and sea salt.
- Remove the gnocchi from the oven and stir through the 50ml coconut cream and kale. Sprinkle over some of the plant parm, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the kale has wilted and the sauce is bubbling and creamy.
- Finish with plenty of fresh basil, an extra sprinkle of plant parm, cracked black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Spoon into bowls and serve piping hot with some crusty bread for scooping up all that creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
Notes
Butter bean liquid: Don’t automatically throw it away. A splash adds body to the sauce and helps everything become lovely and creamy as it bakes. Consistency: The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it sits. If yours looks a little dry during cooking, simply add another splash of vegetable stock. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of stock or water to loosen the sauce again.
