Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g potato gnocchi
- 250 g button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
- 150 g mascarpone cheese
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.
While the water heats, clean and slice the mushrooms thinly. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Remove and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to the package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface).
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat in the sauce.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Top the gnocchi with the crispy sage leaves and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, flavorful meal!
