I made something tonight that was really so nice that it made me sick.

I need a cream substitute for this dish and knowing you all I figured you'd have some nifty suggestions.

It's Creamy Pesto Gnocchi (from some supermarket cookbook.)

500g fresh potato gnocchi
I cup light thickened cream
1/4 cup of sun-dried tomato pesto (yum!)
Chargrilled capsicum (bell peppers- red) finely chopped
150g baby spinach
1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese to top.

OK, I'd prefer to keep a sprinkle of the parmesan cheese, but need a substitute for all that cream. Eeee gads, my liver is crying.

The whole concept is so easy, except for making the gnocchi myself. But I'd prefer to do that than buy ready made as it goes quite chewy.

Any suggestions for a good cream subsitute for this recipe would be very welcome. Thank you.
