Rosemary Mushroom Gnocchi
Servings: 4 Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
For the Gnocchi:
1 pound (450g) potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Sauce:
1 pound (450g) cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potato gnocchi according to the package instructions or until they float to the surface, which usually takes 2-3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi and set them aside.
Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they have softened and started to brown.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the mushroom sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Keep the sauce warm over low heat.
Sauté the Gnocchi:
In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary over the gnocchi. Sauté for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the sautéed gnocchi to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Gently toss everything together to coat the gnocchi in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and sauce. Continue to toss until the cheese is melted and the sauce is evenly distributed.
Plate the Rosemary Mushroom Gnocchi, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot. You can also add extra Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
Enjoy!
