A bit of background
Can you make a core memory at age 29? Because years ago I went on a brand trip with the Italian food brand DeLallo, and we all sat around the dining table in this beautiful 100-year-old house eating big steaming bowls of gnocchi with heavy scoops of creamy mushroom sauce. And as a result, I haven’t stopped thinking about creamy mushroom gnocchi since 2015. It’s silky, it’s comforting, it tastes like the holidays and home.
Instructions
Cook the mushrooms and garlic: Melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms; sauté until golden. Once they’re golden, add salt – this will draw out some of the water. Cook the mushrooms down so some of the water can evaporate. Add garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Make your sauce: Add broth, cream, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5-10 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken. (This is a good time to boil your gnocchi if you haven’t already.)
Add your gnocchi: Remove thyme sprigs from the sauce; add Parmesan and stir to melt it in. Add your cooked gnocchi and gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper; add additional broth if needed to keep the sauce nice and silky.
You’re done! Yum. Scoop hot, steamy, saucy gnocchi into bowls, top with Parm, salt, and pepper, and enjoy your life.
