I just got home. It’s late. It’s time for dinner and I am starving. And I have no idea what I am going to eat. I think about what I have to work with. I do have a package of gnocchi… Maybe I could do something with it.
A little search in my bookmarked recipes, and I’m in the kitchen making a quick, delicious dinner:
Creamy Mushroom Gnocchi
Adaptation of Fresh Gnocchi with Mushroom Cream Sauce, The Culinary Chronicles
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
- 1 package (500g) gnocchi
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, make your sauce.
Melt butter with olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, parsley and thyme and cook until tender. Add stock an increase to medium-high heat. Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce to medium heat and add cream and cornstarch mixture. Bring back to a boil and cook on medium-low for 2-4 minutes.
Add gnocchi to boiling water and cook according to package directions (usually takes 2-3 minutes, like the sauce! ;)).
Add gnocchi to the sauce and mix. Serve garnished with parmesan if desired.
Serves 3-4
This sauce is extra-mega-quick-and-easy to make. And so, so good. It tastes like Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup with MORE mushrooms. And with gnocchi ;).
I really don’t like mushroom but this looks interesting…I am not sure if my family will love this…Anyway, thanks a lot for this idea…
Mmmm this sounds amazing. I love a good gnocchi dish, this just sounds like heaven! Creamy, delicious heaven! Yum!
Mmm.. that looks great! Okay, I am a little bit biased since I love mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe!
The dish seems really wonderful and mouth watering. My hub doesn’t like mushrooms but I hope he will surely love this dish. I will surely make it this weekend.
What a great looking dish but I admit that I don’t like to eat mushroom it is just it stock up in my throat every time I try to eat it.
I usually love to make new dishes. I have never tried to make mushroom dish as it always seems to me too messy but this dish too different to me. So, I am going to try this one out. Hope I can make something good. 😉
Yeah! It looks like Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup. I’d like to pair it with some ginger toast. Yum and thanks for the recipe. 🙂
I have taken mushrooms before but not prepared in this style. I will have to try preparing that using the recipe you have provided It looks so yummy.
What an easy meal to make and looks delicious too.
