Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then dice it into cubes.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  3. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, coconut milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the crispy tofu back into the skillet and combine gently.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and add them to the skillet with the sauce.
  8. Mix everything well and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  1. Ensure you press the tofu well to avoid excess moisture. You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or cashew cream if needed.
