  2. 15 mL (1 tbsp.) cornstarch
  3. 1 package, 500 g gnocchi
  4. 15 mL (1 tbsp.) olive oil
  5. 5 mL (1 tsp.) dried oregano
  6. 30 mL (2 tbsp.) butter
  7. 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  8. 30 mL (2 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
  9. 250 mL (1 cup) milk
  10. 1 package, 113 g herb and garlic goat cheese
  11. 0.5 mL (⅛ tsp.) salt
  12. A pinch pepper
  13. 10 sundried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped
  14. 125 mL (½ cup) halved cherry tomatoes
  15. 500 mL (2 cups) baby spinach

  1. 60 mL (¼ cup) freshly chopped basil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400 °F).
  2. In a bowl, mix tofu cubes and cornstarch, covering each cube well. Place tofu on one half of a parchment paper or silicone baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, turning the cubes halfway through.
  3. In another bowl, mix gnocchi, olive oil, oregano, and salt and pepper. When it is time to turn tofu (after about 12–13 minutes), add gnocchi to the other half of the baking sheet. Continue cooking tofu with gnocchi.
  4. Finish on broil (1 minute), if desired. Remove from oven and set aside.
  5. In a large saucepan set over medium heat, heat butter for 1 minute. Add onion and cook for 1–2 minutes or until translucent.
  6. Sprinkle onions with flour and whisk. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk and bring to a boil, whisking continuously until mixture has thickened (to form the bechamel sauce). Remove from heat.
  7. Add goat cheese, salt and pepper to bechamel sauce and whisk until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
  8. Add tofu cubes and gnocchi, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, spinach and basil to goat cheese bechamel. Mix well and serve.
