ONE RECIPE, TWO WAYS: GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Tomato Garlic Gnocchi for Kids: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic; bloom until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes, basil and a good pinch of salt. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a food processor and blend until smooth, then pour back into the pot.
• Bring another large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until al dente, 2 minutes. Drain the gnocchi and add it to the tomato sauce.
• At this point, ladle out about a cup of the gnocchi and portion it out into small bowls. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and it's ready for the kids!
• Gnocchi Puttanesca for Adults: To the pot, add the olives and capers and stir to combine. (You could also just sprinkle the olives and capers on top of the gnocchi if you prefer. Either way is fine!)
• The gloriously simple gnocchi puttanesca is ready for the adult faces. Yay! Garnish with fresh Parmesan and basil leaves. Don't forget that crusty bread!

VEGAN GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and poke all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes and peel the skin off. Mash the potatoes in a bowl until there are as few lumps as possible.
• In another bowl, add the flour and seasonings, mix, and make a well in the center. Add the potatoes and slowly mix together to form a smooth dough. Add more flour if needed.
• Dust a work surface with more flour, take sections of the dough, and roll out into a ½ inch thick rope. Cut the rope into ¾ inch long pieces. Take each piece and pinch the ends to form an oval ball, and roll with the tines of a fork to get a striped design on one side.
• In batches, drop the gnocchi into heavily salted boiling water and scoop out with a slotted spoon after they rise to the surface. Keep warm in a bowl in the oven.
• Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce, basil and soy milk in a saucepan over low heat until it begins to bubble. Add more soy milk for a lighter, creamier sauce. Pour the sauce over the gnocchi, toss and serve.
