Broccoli & Tofu "Cream" Sauce

A creamy, high-protein sauce that clings perfectly to gnocchi ridges.

• 300g broccoli (1 head), cut into small florets
• 150g tofu (soft or silken preferred)
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 30ml olive oil
• 60ml pasta water (reserved from boiling gnocchi)
• 20g nutritional yeast or parmesan
• Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Place 300g broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, cover, and microwave for 4 minutes until very soft.
2. In a blender, combine the steamed broccoli, 150g tofu, 2 cloves garlic, 30ml olive oil, and 20g nutritional yeast or parmesan.
3. Pulse until a thick green paste forms.
4. Add 60ml reserved pasta water to the blender and blitz until silky.
5. Pour sauce into a warm pan, toss in cooked gnocchi, and stir over low heat for 1 minute.
