Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 6 ounces portobello mushrooms sliced thin
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 25 ounce package frozen gnocchi (or fresh)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
  • parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, saute butter with garlic and mushroom slices over medium heat, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Slowly add in heavy cream, whisking while you add it to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for about ten minutes. Sauce should thicken up slightly.
  3. Add in gnocchi (frozen or fresh) and simmer until cooked through. If the gnocchi is frozen, this could take about 5 minutes. Add in parmesan cheese, stir and sprinkle with a sprig of parsley for garnish. Serve hot and ENJOY.

Notes

  • If possible, shred the parmesan cheese yourself instead of buying it pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated in cellulose to keep it from sticking together in the packaging. This cellulose keeps the cheese from melting and becoming as smooth as it should.
  • Try to use kosher salt and cracked black pepper instead of iodized salt and pre-ground pepper. Kosher salt is less salty than table salt and will give you the most control over the taste of the dish. Fresh cracked pepper will give the dish a much more complex flavor than pre-ground pepper. 
  • The sauce will thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a little thin while you’re cooking. For this reason, eat this dish immediately after removing it from the heat.
