Ingredients

• 500 g Potato gnocchi
• 300 g Mixed wild mushrooms (e.g., shiitake, porcini, chanterelle)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 60 ml Dry white wine
• 125 ml Heavy cream
• 30 g Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.

Step 2

Clean the wild mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt with a damp towel. Slice them into evenly sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms and fresh thyme to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender, and their liquid has mostly evaporated.

Step 6

Season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to package instructions or until they float to the surface, which usually takes 2-3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi, reserving a small cup of the cooking water.

Step 10

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Toss gently to coat, adding a splash of reserved cooking water if the sauce needs to be loosened.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and give it one final stir. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
