🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 500 g Potato gnocchi
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Shallots
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 250 g Cremini mushrooms
• 60 ml Dry white wine

• 1 tsp Salt

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.

2. Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves. Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.

6. Pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to reduce slightly.

7. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

8. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of parsley, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed, then keep warm over low heat.

9. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top. Drain the gnocchi well.

10. Add the cooked gnocchi to the mushroom sauce and gently toss to coat.

11. Divide the gnocchi among serving plates and garnish with the remaining parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
