Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 lb Wild mushrooms (chanterelles, porcini, or cremini)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Vegetable stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until soft.

Step 2

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes out on a clean surface to cool completely.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour and salt over the cooled potatoes. Make a well in the center and add the egg yolks. Gently mix and knead the dough just until it comes together, being careful not to overwork it.

Step 4

Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and use a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges on each piece.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the water in batches. Boil until they float to the top, then cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

To make the mushroom sugo, clean and slice the wild mushrooms. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook until it is mostly evaporated.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable stock and heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
