Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins | Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
1 pound (450g) potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions or until they float to the surface. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the gnocchi.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Pro Cooking Tips:
Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Don’t overcook the gnocchi; they should be slightly firm in the center.
Adjust the amount of heavy cream according to your desired level of creaminess.
Serving Suggestions:
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the creamy mushroom sauce and top with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal.
Experiment with different types of mushrooms or add some sautéed spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
