Ingredients
- 500 g Potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 300 g Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, typically 2–3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to foam.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.
Step 6
Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Step 8
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat each piece in the creamy sauce.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
