Did you know that you don’t need to put eggs in your gnocchi? It turns out that gnocchi is one of the easiest recipes to veganize. You just ditch the egg, and there you have it: vegan gnocchi! I have eaten them many, many times. They are just like the non-vegan ones. Most people cannot tell the difference: with or without eggs are pretty much the same.
For the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina I would also need mozzarella and grated cheese. Lately, Argentina has started to produce really good mozzarella cheese. My favorite brand so far is “Felices las Vacas“. They not only have mozzarella, but also cream cheese (“queso cremoso”, also known as “queso mantecoso”). The grated cheese is easy enough to make it at home: you just blend cashew nuts, nutritional yeast (ideally, cheese-flavored), salt, and some garlic powder.
