Roasted Garlic sauce and Gnocchi - DF, EF and GF

I don't know what it is about the little potato dumplings that call to my daughter's heart, but there is something so intensely pleasurable about gnocchi for my little lush cook. 
And I adore the little conclave of helping hands dusted in flour, carefully peeling the dumplings off forks and chattering away.

Free to enjoy as many vegetables as she likes, her favourite is a tomato-based sauce or burnt butter and sage. But for a while I have been experimenting to get a delicious 'burnt butter' sauce for my dairy free and food intolerant gang.

For those of you who can tolerate lots of ingredients, I suggest a lovely broccoli pesto as a sauce - but for the sensitive tummy - ENJOY the fruits of my concocting labours. I must give credit to the incredible Cybele Pascale for her ALLERGY FREE gnocchi recipe that gave me a good start in developing the gnocchi
