Blue Sheese, Spinach & Walnut Gnocchi
One of the excuses that people use not to go vegan is they'd miss cheese. There are really good dairy free cheeses available and if you like blue cheese you'll love this recipe. Creamy and a strong blue cheese taste. I guarantee you'd think it wasn't vegan. Using English Blue Sheese (highly recommended).
