I make a simpler version of this sauce to pour over pasta, so I thought it would be great poured over gnocchi too and boy was I right.

Cooking mushrooms

I slowly cooked my chestnut mushrooms in olive oil and garlic until soft and juicy, then I added, stock, wine and some herbs and let the liquid cook down before adding dairy-free plain yoghurt and soya single cream.

It's all well seasoned and utterly delicious.

Cooking gnocchi

The packet instructions recommend that you cook the gnocchi in boiling water for 3 minutes

That is a good starting point, but I like to then drain them, pat them on a clean tea towel and then I fry them in a little olive oil until they are crisp and golden with some nice charring.

Why fry gnocchi?

Frying the gnocchi turns them into little golden parcels that are crisp on the outside and soft inside like little roast potatoes.

Mmmmmm! I picked up that little tip from Nigella Lawson.

Adding Fresh Herbs

I added fresh parsley to this sauce and piled some chopped fresh parsley to the dish before serving it.

I also like to add fresh basil to this dish, but I forgot to pick some up while I was shopping. The basil is really good in this sauce so do try it.

When Should I Use Fresh Herbs?

This sauce is really fresh and creamy so fresh herbs work well and the fresh flavour shines through.

For a longer cooking sauce with perhaps a tomato base or a gravy base or a soup or stew you could add dried herbs and they would have time to infuse their flavour, whereas the flavour of fresh herbs would be overpowered unless you added them right at the end just before serving.
