Ingredients
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 200-225 grams (8oz) brown or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- Pinch of chili flakes
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 450 grams / 1 lb shelf stable gnocchi
- 1 tbsp butter
Optional toppings
- 3 tbsp fresh minced parsley
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and starting to brown, stirring occasionally, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the finely chopped shallot, minced garlic, kosher salt, ground pepper and a pinch of chili flakes. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the balsamic vinegar, stir and cook until it’s mostly evaporated. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl.
- To the same skillet, over medium-high heat add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the gnocchi and sauté for 5-8 minutes, until the gnocchi start to turn golden brown and are tender and cooked through.
- Add the cooked mushrooms back to the skillet along with the butter and stir to combine. Cook until the butter is melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately and add optional toppings of fresh minced parsley and chopped walnuts if desired.
Notes
- Shelf-stable and refrigerated gnocchi from the grocery store is best for this delicious gnocchi side dish. This type of gnocchi does not need to be boiled first and can pan fried directly from the package.
