This simple vegan baked gnocchi comes together in about 40 minutes! Use the bechamel recipe on other dishes like a lasagna!
If you would like to get fancy, infuse your milk before with 1/2 and onion some garlic, and a bay leaf by heating in a pot. Then use that milk to pour in your bechamel.
Vegan Parmesan:
Blend 1/2 cup nuts, 2-3 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/4 tsp each garlic + onion powder
Almonds, cashews, or pumpkin seeds all work well!
