This easy to make gnocchi with asparagus in cream sauce is a traditional made vegan!
Nowadays, it’s so easy to find vegan alternatives and one of my favorite discoveries was plant cream aka vegan heavy cream.
Even with cheese, the vegan alternatives are great and I love using them for various dishes.
Vegan parmesan cheese is great and I love buying a wedge that I can grate myself.

When asparagus is in season, I take full advantage.
One of my favorite pairings is with pasta and in this case – gnocchi.
Most gnocchi sold at the store is accidentally vegan but be sure to always check the ingredient list.
To keep it simple, I am only seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
If you have a go-to seasoning, feel free to add it in as this creamy sauce can take on many flavors and spices.
