Equipment
- Sharp Knife
- 1 Large Pot
- 1 Large nonstick pan
Ingredients
- 16 oz Fresh Gnocchi (1 16 oz package)
- 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms pre-sliced
- 1 Shallot small, diced
- 1 clove Garlic thinly sliced
- ½ cup Heavy cream
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano microplaned or grated
- 2 tablespoon Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more for sweating the shallots
Instructions
- Mince the shallot and thinly slice garlic.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the gnocchi.
- Place the pre-sliced baby bella mushrooms on a cutting board and roughly chop them into small pieces. Alternatively, chop them in a food processor.
- Grate the parmesan cheese using a box grater or a microplane.
- Heat butter over medium heat in a nonstick pan and add the minced shallots.
- Add a large pinch of salt and continue to stir the shallots so that they sweat and don't brown.
- Once translucent, add the sliced garlic and sauté until garlic has softened.
- Add all of the chopped mushrooms and allow them to sit on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Stir and allow to sit again for about 2 minutes. Repeat this process until all of the mushrooms have cooked down and shrunk by nearly half.
- Add heavy cream and parmesan and stir to combine.
- Simmer on low heat to thicken.
- If you haven't already, boil the gnocchi according to package instructions, or until they float.
- Drain and add to the mushroom sauce.
- Toss to combine.
- Season and serve hot and garnish with more cheese if desired.
Notes
- Initially, the sauce will be relatively thin. Allow it to simmer for longer if you would like it to be thicker and/or add more grated parmesan to thicken.
- Make your own gnocchi or use store bought! Store bought works perfectly fine and it is what I used in this recipe.
- I think baby bella mushrooms work the best in this sauce to create a true "mushroom-y" flavor, but I love more unique mushrooms too! So feel free to add other mushrooms in addition. Oyster, chanterelle, morels, and porcini would add great flavor and texture to this dish.
