Preparation
- Begin by pressing firm or extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu cubes. Cook them for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- While the tofu is frying, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, typically 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Once cooked, drain the gnocchi and set it aside.
- In the same skillet used for the tofu, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/3 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté these for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and golden. If using, toss in a handful of fresh spinach or kale, and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes, before reducing the heat to medium.
- Pour in 1 cup of vegan cream or your preferred sauce base into the skillet, stirring well to combine. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.
- Gently add the drained gnocchi to the creamy sauce, using a spatula to coat it thoroughly. Cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, ensuring the dish is heated through and all components are perfectly blended.
- Once everything is warmed through and well-combined, carefully transfer the Marry Tofu to serving plates. For a final touch, sprinkle nutritional yeast liberally on top. Serve warm.

Notes
Use firm or extra-firm tofu for best results. Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying tofu to achieve crispiness.
