Servings 6
Ingredients
- 2 (16 oz.) pack gnocchi
- 1 small organic yellow onion
- 1 large homegrown garlic cloves
- 16 oz. mushrooms
- 2 tbsp. unsalted grass-fed butter
- ¼ cup organic all-purpose flour
- ½ cups water
- 2 cup heavy whipping cream (or half & half)
- 1 tsp. chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp. Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 2 tsp. sea salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp. black ground pepper or to taste
- 4 tbsp. olive oil for sautéing
- Fresh dill or parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Cook the potato gnocchi according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain the gnocchi and set it aside.
- Rinse and slice the mushrooms. Sauté them in a large skillet with two tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Continue cooking until the moisture evaporates. Once done, remove the pan from the stove and set the mushrooms aside.
- Using the same skillet, sauté finely chopped garlic and onion until they turn a light golden color.
- Add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, add sift flour and whisk until completely absorbed (this should take about 10 seconds).
- Next, add water, heavy whipping cream, and chicken bouillon to the skillet. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a hand whisk to prevent the flour from settling at the bottom of the pan.
- Add Mrs. Dash seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to the cream sauce, adjusting the amounts to your preference.
- Stir in the sautéedmushrooms and the cooked gnocchi into the cream sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove it from the stove.
- Garnish the creamy mushroom gnocchi with your choice of green herbs, such as fresh dill or parsley. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish. Enjoy your delicious creamy mushroom gnocchi!
