- Cover cashews with water, leave to soak for about an hour.

- Shape the gnocchi with your fingers.
- Bring a big saucepan of water to the boil. Drop the fresh gnocchi into the pan of boiling water. Cook until they rise to the top of the pot. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Make the cashew sauce while the gnocchi are cooking. Place soaked cashews in the blender, add fresh warm water, yeast flakes, onion powder and garlic, blend until smooth. Try your sauce and season to taste with salt, pepper and chilli powder.
- Pour your cashew sauce over the freshly-cooked gnocchi, and enjoy!
