Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 300 g Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, typically 2–3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.
Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat each piece in the creamy sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
