Gnocchi With Roasted Pepper Sauce (Gluten Free)

Looking for a gluten free, quick, nutritious dish? Our Gnocchi with Roasted Pepper Sauce is not only easy to prepare but also packs a nutritious punch, making it an ideal choice for a quick dinner or lunch. I make the Roasted Pepper Sauce in bulk and keep it portioned up in the freezer. It’s great to pull out of the freezer when you’re after a quick dinner or lunch. 

With this meal naturally being lower in protein, the addition of the butter beans increases the protein content making the meal more balanced. There’s around 13% protein, 80% carbs and 7% fat in this meal. If you are after more protein, you can always top it up with some grilled chicken or tofu. 

Check your gnocchi closely to ensure it’s gluten free. Lots of gnocchi recipes use wheat flour to bind the potato together. Also, make sure you follow the cooking instructions closely. Some gnocchi take 2 minutes and others 5 minutes. The difference here can lead to undercooked or overcooked and make this dish not taste as good as it should. 

This Gnocchi with Roasted Pepper Sauce recipe is a testament to the fact that quick meals can still be delicious and nutritious. Whether you’re in a rush or simply looking for a comforting meal without the hassle, this dish promises satisfaction with every bite.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C. In an oven proof tray place the peppers in whole
   and roast for 20 minutes. The skins should be charcoaled when it’s cooked.
   Leave to cool.
   
2. Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the
   chopped onions and lightly fry for around 10 minutes (until they are soft).
3. Once the peppers are cooked, on a chopping board start to peel the skin
   off and remove the seeds and stalk. Chop roughly.
   
4. Take the pan off the heat and season with the spices and salt and pepper.
   Mix together and leave to cool.
5. Mix together the onions, peppers and butter beans with the water and
   then add into a food processor. Whiz until smooth. You may need to add a
   little more water here depending on how thick you like the sauce to be.
   
6. Finally, cook the gnocchi according to the packet instructions. Drain.
7. While this is cooking, heat up the sauce. Then mix through the gnocchi
   and serve.
