Description

Savor the irresistible crunch of crispy tofu paired with pillowy gnocchi in this unforgettable dish that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Press tofu between paper towels to remove moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle garlic powder and kosher salt over the tofu; toss gently to coat.
  4. In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float (2-3 minutes). Drain.
  5. Combine cooked gnocchi with the crispy tofu in the skillet; toss gently to mix without breaking the gnocchi.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
