Hi there, Ameera here!
It’s finally here! I have been waiting eagerly to share with you our AH-MAZING Pizza Pasta Supreme dish for-like-eva! As most of our readers know, we work about 12 to 16 weeks out so this one has been done for a while, we just finally got it in the line-up! YAY!
I kept telling Mom, let’s move it up in the schedule! It’s soooo good! We were planning to release this recipe about a month ago, but we try really hard to arrange our recipe schedule, so we don’t have too many pasta dishes or too many stews all released at the same time. Sometimes, we just can’t help it as we love our soups, stews, and pasta dishes.
Ding, Ding, Ding. . .
Poor Michael, his calendar somehow got linked to our Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures electronic calendar, so whenever we start moving dishes around on our calendar for release dates (which is often), his phone starts dinging like crazy.
He is like “Dang, quit moving all this food around on the calendar! All this beeping is killing me!” He says it lovingly, but I am sure it is uberly annoying. Thankfully, we just recently figured out how to disconnect our MaMKA calendar from his calendar. Phew!
Saucy Perfection
You can totally use a WFPB compliant store-bought pizza sauce in this recipe, but our new Easy Healthy Pizza Sauce is sooooo gosh darn good! We absolutely love it, and it worked perfectly with this dish.
Little Clouds of Heaven
We are a gnocchi-loving family. What’s not to love about those lil pillows of wondrousness! We used gnocchi in this dish because it reminded us of eating a beautiful thick crust pizza.
The gnocchi are reminiscent of those gorgeously thick Sicilian style pizza crusts: tender and chewy. It worked perfectly in this dish, but you could totally use any pasta you wish.
Finding Whole Food Plant Based compliant gnocchi isn’t hard. Check out our Whole Food Plant Based Compliant Store-Bought Products for gnocchi. We bought some gluten free gnocchi from amazon.
I’ll let Mom tell you more.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup red onion, fine dice
- 1 cup bell peppers, fine dice (we used ½ red and ½ green)
- 1 Tablespoon finely minced garlic
- 1/3 cup sliced olives * (Optional)
- 1 – 4 oz. can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 12 to 16 oz. pasta of choice *
- 2 cups pizza sauce of choice (or 1 recipe Easy Healthy Pizza Sauce)
- 1 Tablespoon Vegan Parmesan Cheese (or nutritional yeast) (optional)
Optional Add-in Ideas:
- WFPB vegan mozzarella/cheese (we did not use)
- WFPB vegan sausage crumbles (we did not use)
- WFPB vegan pepperoni (we did not use)
Optional Toppings:
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- Sliced Olives
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Make the Vegan Parmesan Cheese (optional).
- Make the Easy Healthy Pizza Sauce (if using store bought, skip this step.)
- In a large ceramic/enamel-lined Dutch oven, skillet or similar stock pot, add the diced red onions and bell peppers; sauté over medium heat until they soften, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of water if they start to stick and/or to prevent burning. Then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package directions. Note: Keep some of the pasta water. If needed, add a Tablespoon of pasta water at a time to thin out the sauce in Step 5.
- Add the pizza sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Vegan Parmesan Cheese (or nutritional yeast), sliced mushrooms, and sliced olives to the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and garlic stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes. Then add the cooked pasta, stir to combine. Cook for one minute, then serve with additional toppings.
Notes
*Olives: We used 1/3 cup black olives and 1/3 cup green olives. Make sure to select olives packed in water and not oil.
*Pasta: We used gluten free gnocchi. If you do not need to be gluten free you can use any WFPB compliant gnocchi or pasta of choice.
*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
*Serving: 4
*Storage: Use within 5 days.
*Nutritional Information: Does not include the optional ingredients of olives or vegan parmesan cheese, or optional add-in ideas. It does include the nutritional information of our Easy Healthy Pizza Sauce for the 2 cups of pizza sauce.

Just wondering what type of Gluten free gnocchi you used?
Hi there Sheila 🙂
We’ve used a variety of gluten free gnocchi. Here is one we’ve gotten off amazing by Difatti. https://www.amazon.com/Difatti-Gluten-Free-Plain-Gnocchi/dp/B075CTTXDW/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=gluten+free+gnocchi&qid=1553992651&s=gateway&sr=8-12

I’m going to order the gnocchi but this doesn’t look like a link that will give you credit for referring me. Do you have a link that pays you?

Thank you so very much! Just placed my order can’t wait for them to arrive. I’ve never had gnocchi, after seeing your recipe we had to give it a try. Everything on your website is amazing.

Thank you for putting so much work into sharing your creations with us.

Sorry that it has taken so long for me to pop back on here to say THANK YOU! Loved the gnocchi, it arrived from Amazon. I whipped up your lovely recipe and it is amazing. I had no idea gnocchi was so good. You are right the fluffy little gnocchi made this taste like pizza crust. mmmm

I have everything to make this! I think it’s fate. Love anything with gnocchi.
Update: Made it tonight and it’s delicious. Used your pizza sauce recipe & a nice side salad using your Italian dressing, which by the way is so good & made at least once a week.
Yaaayyy!!! We are so thrilled that you made the gnocchi with our pizza sauce and enjoyed it. So glad you enjoyed a salad with our Italian dressing, such a fantastic dinner combination. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and support. We truly appreciate you taking the time to write.

I made this last night and loved it! My husband has been very skeptical of removing oil from our cooking but he did not miss it in this recipe. Thank you!

This has become a huge favorite! Used penne and am not vegan (yet) so I sprinkle some feta over it. I don’t like mushrooms so I replaced it with Jalapenos and olive. I am so in love with this! Going to try the gluten free and vegan version soon.
Hi there Pavithra 🙂
Woo hoo!!!! We are so thrilled that you loved this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing how you made this recipe your own. We appreciate your awesome feedback and for taking the time to write.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Yum-O! This was so delicious with the potato gnocchi. And a nice change from actual pizza. Even the hubbie enjoyed it.
As usual, looking forward to leftovers!!
Hey there Sandra 🙂
AWESOME!!!! We are so happy that you gave this recipe a try and enjoyed it! Thrilled to hear that your hubbie enjoyed it too! Thank you so much for the awesome review!
-Ameera and Robin
Made this with elbow Mac since that’s what I had. Overall appreciated all the veggies, but found the Healthy Pizza Sauce too sweet. I think I’ll make again without the maple syrup. I’ve been looking at GF gnocchi recipes and may try that next time as well.
Hi there Teri,
Thank you for taking time to write. On the sweet comment, we find it relative, that is why we typically place a (+/-) next to the maple syrup. Glad you appreciated the veggies.
-Ameera and Robin
This sounds like the answer to my pizza dilemma. I basically like the sauce, mushroom, green peppers, onions on pizza. I plan on trying this. I have made your Italian spaghetti sauce that I found very good.
Hi there Elizabeth,
YAYYYYY!!! We are so happy that you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you so much.
-Ameera and Robin
These recipes are absolutely amazing!!!! Next time I will probably leave out the maple syrup for the sauce but other than that, it was perfection!!!!! I just ordered the soy curls. I can’t wait to try those recipes as well.
Hi there Annette,
Woo hoo! We are so happy you enjoyed this recipe. We appreciate you sharing your wonderful review with us. Oooo, we love soy curls and hope that you enjoy them too! Thank you so much for taking the time to write.
