Ingredients
- 1 - 17.6 oz package gnocchi or 1 recipe homemade gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium yellow onions diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ⅛ teaspoon fresh thyme dried thyme leaves or 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese freshly grated, plus extra for garnish
- parsley fresh, for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
- Add white wine and simmer until it has almost evaporated.
- Mix chicken broth with the cornstarch. Add chicken broth, cream, and thyme to the pan with the mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- While sauce is simmering, cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain well but do not rinse.
- Add parmesan cheese to the sauce stir. Add gnocchi and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and rest 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired
Notes
- Gnocchi is cooked once it floats.
- Do not rinse or oil the gnocchi once drained, the little bit of starch left will help thicken the sauce and allow the sauce to cling better.
- Clean mushrooms by brushing dirt or debris instead of rinsing them if possible. If they’re really dirty, a very quick rinse will do. Wet mushrooms lose a little of their earthy flavor and don’t pan-fry as well.
- Use whole or halved button mushrooms or sliced white or brown mushrooms.
- Chicken broth can be replaced with mushroom broth if you have it.
