Ingredients
GNOCCHI This recipe is made quickly with fresh or frozen gnocchi (pronounced “NEO-kee”). Gnocchi can be found in the pasta section, and they are typically sold in clear containers (you can also get them online).
Near the fresh kinds of pasta are certain gnocchi brands that are also available in refrigerators.
MUSHROOMS: For this recipe, I prefer using brown mushrooms (cremini), but white mushrooms also work.
SAUCE This cream sauce is flavorful and easy to create.
Keep a small bottle of white wine on hand for cooking if at all possible as it adds a lot of flavors. Wine can be omitted if you absolutely must not consume any.
Pick a white wine that you enjoy drinking and that isn’t overly sugary. Wines are not advised for cooking. Try chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, or pinot gris.
Variations
- Try butternut squash or spinach gnocchi if you want to sample the variety of tastes and hues available for gnocchi.
- Try several kinds of mushrooms, such as criminis, lobster, enoki, or baby Bellas.
- Add some spinach or kale that has been finely chopped to the sauce.
- If desired, garnish with black pepper and crumbled bacon.
Creamy Mushroom Gnocchi Recipe
- Cook Gnocchi: Prepare gnocchi as directed on the packet.

Go, Gourmet
Restaurant truffle meals are pricey (the mushroom, not the chocolate)!
You might not be aware that a single drop of truffle oil can flavor an entire dish. This implies that a small bottle can flavor a large number of meals for a very small portion of the cost.
Add it to mac and cheese, rice, pasta, frozen french fries, and vegetable casseroles, among other dishes.
How to Make the Best Gnocchi Recipe
- Once it floats, gnocchi is done.
- Once drained, do not rinse or oil the gnocchi because the little bit of starch still there will help the sauce thicken and stick better.
- If at all feasible, clean mushrooms by brushing off any dirt or debris rather than rinsing them. If they are very filthy, just give them a quick rinse. Wet mushrooms don’t pan-fry as well and lose some of their earthy flavors.
- Use sliced white or brown mushrooms, and whole or halved button mushrooms.
- Using mushroom broth in place of chicken broth is an option.
