Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potato gnocchi
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 250 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 4 units Fresh sage leaves
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the gnocchi later.
Slice the cremini mushrooms thinly and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let the butter cook until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and sage leaves to the brown butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to infuse the butter with the herbs.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to package instructions. Fresh gnocchi usually cooks in about 1-2 minutes and will float to the surface when done.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the brown butter and herbs.
Add the cooked mushrooms back to the skillet and toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce.
Sprinkle the dish with salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the herbed gnocchi and mushrooms immediately, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.
