Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Gnocchi:
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 2 medium)
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of grated nutmeg
7 tablespoons (about) all purpose flour
Mushroom Sauce:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
1/2 cup sliced shallots
1 3/4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
3 cups coarsely chopped arugula
1/2 teaspoon (about) white truffle oil (optional)*
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
*Available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • For gnocchi:
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly; cut potatoes in half and scoop pulp into large bowl. Mash potatoes well. Mix in egg yolk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in enough flour to form firm, slightly elastic dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Gently roll 1 portion between hands and work surface to form 1/2-inch-thick rope about 18 inches long. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece over tines of dinner fork to make grooves in gnocchi. Arrange gnocchi in single layer on floured baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 portions of dough.
  • Working in small batches, cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until gnocchi rise to top and are tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to large baking pan. (Gnocchi can be prepared ahead. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
  • For mushroom sauce:
  • Cook butter and olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add stock and sage; simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add gnocchi to sauce in skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add arugula and stir until wilted. Divide equally among bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Sprinkle with cheese.

Potato gnocchi can take on just about any sauce, such as a light tomato-basil sauce, or simply butter and sage.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound assorted wild mushrooms, such as cremini, hedgehog, shiitake, or oyster
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced shallots, (about 2 large)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon white truffle oil, optional
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, leaves
Potato Gnocchi

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil. Remove stems from shiitake mushrooms, and trim stems of others. Cut all the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add shallots, and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Raise heat to medium high, add mushrooms and thyme sprigs, and cook until mushrooms begin to brown on the edges, about 4 minutes. Remove thyme, add chicken stock, and reduce to 1 tablespoon, about 30 seconds. Add cream, salt, and pepper, cooking until cream thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drop precooked gnocchi into the pot of boiling water, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. (If gnocchi are prepared in advance but not yet cooked, boil them as described in Step 4 of the Potato Gnocchi recipe.) Lift gnocchi out of the water with a slotted spoon or skimmer, and transfer to the mushroom sauce, stirring until evenly coated; cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Divide among 6 plates, drizzle with truffle oil (if using), and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and marjoram leaves. Serve immediately.

HERB GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes, about 2 large potatoes or 4 small potatoes
1/2 cup flour, plus more if needed plus more for dusting
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place whole unpeeled potatoes into a medium saucepan with cold water on medium heat. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until soft enough to mash. Check with a knife to see if potatoes are cooked through and tender. Once ready drain the potatoes.
  • When cool enough to handle peel each potato and cut into small pieces and pass them through a potato ricer over a medium size bowl. Add the flour, Parmesan, egg yolks, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper and mix into a doughy consistency adding more flour as needed. Transfer dough to a well floured surface.
  • Using your hands roll pieces of the dough into a rope about 1/2-inch in diameter. With a knife cut the rope into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-long pieces. Flour the pieces as you cut them placing them on a floured baking sheet tray or lined with wax paper. Once rolled you can place the gnocchi in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap until ready to cook. When ready to cook place gnocchi in boiling salted water for about 1 to 2 minutes. They will rise to the top when done. Using a slotted spoon remove gnocchi from pot.
  • For the sauce
  • In a skillet add the butter and mushrooms and saute until nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and gently simmer for another 2 to 5 minutes. Once the sauce has simmered, add the gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH WILD MUSHROOM SUGO



Potato Gnocchi with Wild Mushroom Sugo image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds russet potatoes
Coarse salt
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 to 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting or use store bought gnocchi (1 pound fresh or frozen)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups mixed wild mushrooms, finely chopped (from about 3/4-pound mushrooms)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/2 cup tomato puree (from fresh or canned peeled tomato)
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 generous tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the gnocchi:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake potatoes until very soft on a bed of coarse salt in a baking dish, about 45 minutes. (The salt keeps the potatoes from touching the dish and developing a hard spot.) Cool potatoes until warm, then halve lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Pass the flesh through a food mill or ricer, or push it through a coarse sieve. You should have about 4 cups.
  • In a bowl, combine potato, egg yolks, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Work the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add 1 cup of the flour and knead very gently, patting and pressing the dough with your hands until all the flour is incorporated. Add some or all of the additional 1/4 cup flour if the dough feels too moist, it should be soft but shouldn't stick to your hands. Transfer dough to a work surface and roll into a log about 3 inches in diameter. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
  • Give each piece a quarter-turn so that you are rolling the dough in a different direction, then roll into ropes, a generous 1/2-inch in diameter, as if making breadsticks. Flour the ropes generously, and then cut crosswise at 1/2-inch intervals. You can shape the gnocchi on a ridged butter paddle or on the back of a fork, or you can cook them as is. Let them dry at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
  • For the sugo:
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When hot, add oil, and then sprinkle in the mushrooms. Don't stir! Let the mushrooms sizzle and caramelize for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute to release its fragrance. Add the rosemary and shallot and cook for about a minute. Cook briefly to release their fragrance, then add tomato and red wine and simmer until almost evaporated. Add the broth or water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Sprinkle with the parsley and keep warm.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi. They are usually done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface, but test 1 to be sure. Lift them out with a skimmer and transfer to a large platter. Pour the warm sauce over the gnocchi. Grate Parmesan over the top and serve immediately.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Gorgonzola Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Mushroom     Low Sodium     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
Basic Potato Gnocchi (page 224)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper
12 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, cremini, and portobello, stemmed and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer the gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the oiled baking sheet.

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and any released liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the gnocchi; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Pour the Gorgonzola sauce over the gnocchi; gently toss.

SHEET-PAN GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH



Sheet-Pan Gnocchi With Mushrooms and Spinach image

This sheet-pan dinner is inspired by classic steakhouse sides: roasted mushrooms, creamy horseradish-mustard sauce, wilted spinach and roasted potatoes. Well, kind of. Instead of whole potatoes, this recipe uses store-bought gnocchi, a superspeedy stand-in that takes on the fun combination of browned and chewy when roasted. This dish is hearty enough to be a full meal, though it'd also make a great side to braised beans, roast chicken, a seared pork chop and, of course, steak.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, maitake or cremini, trimmed and quartered (or cut into 1-inch pieces, if large)
1 (12- to 18-ounce) package shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
4 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss together the mushrooms, gnocchi, 5 tablespoons olive oil, scallions and shallot. Season with salt and pepper, shake into an even layer, and roast without stirring until the gnocchi and mushrooms are golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the spinach and remaining tablespoon of oil, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Spread in an even layer, then return to the oven to roast until the spinach is tender, another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mustard, horseradish and honey until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the butter and half the sauce to the sheet pan, and stir until melted and glazy. Eat with the remaining sauce on the side.

CREAMY SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM GNOCCHI SKILLET



Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Gnocchi Skillet image

This is a comforting dish and is indulgent with ingredients like wine, cream, and shallots. I do not recommend adding salt because I find the sausage to have enough salt in it. Although cheese is optional, I find it gets lost in the sauce.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Italian-style turkey sausages, casings removed
4 ounces portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (18 ounce) package potato gnocchi
½ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon Italian herbs (such as cantanzaro herbs from Savory Spice Shop®)
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook sausage until no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 7 minutes. Continue to brown the meat and add mushrooms, shallots, butter, and oil. Cook until mushrooms and onions are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add white wine to the sausage mixture and simmer, uncovered, until wine has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add gnocchi, cream, Italian herbs, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE RECIPE



Potato Gnocchi with Mushroom Sauce Recipe image

Provided by á-896

Number Of Ingredients 20

GNOCCHI:
3 large Russet potatoes
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1 ‑2 cups all purpose flour (may not use all)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Few gratings nutmeg (optional)
MUSHROOM SAUCE:
1 ‑1/4 pound cremini mushrooms, wiped and trimmed
.07 ounce package dried porcini mushrooms (or equivalent weight loose)
2 cups homemade chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white Italian wine
2 plump cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 ‑3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon white truffle oil
Fresh grated parmesan to garnish
Salt
Fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • GNOCCHI: Preheat oven to 400°. Prick potatoes and bake until done, 45 minutes to one hour. Remove from oven, and slash lengthwise through each potato, pressing short ends to open to release steam (you want the potatoes as dry as possible = less gummy gnocchi). When cooled enough to handle but still quite warm, scoop out the potato flesh and force through a ricer. Measure out 3 lightly scooped cups (do not pack) and spread out into a rectangle on a clean board or counter. Allow potatoes to cool until warm room temperature. Sprinkle with salt and grate over nutmeg. Drizzle the egg over potatoes, followed by 1/2 cup of flour. With a (metal) bench scraper, begin to lift and fold the potato mixture on to itself, cutting the flour and egg into the potato mixture. When almost incorporated (mixture will begin crumbling), sprinkle over another 1/4 cup flour , and repeat until mixture is in small crumbs. Lightly press the dough together into a ball and move it aside. Clean any sticky dough from counter with the scraper and cover with a light dusting of flour. On the floured surface, lightly press the dough together and fold/knead just a few turns -- dough should be workable with some potato texture and not sticky. Adjust by adding more flour if necessary -- the less flour and handling needed, the more tender the resulting gnocchi. Cut the dough into quarters. On a lightly floured board, roll one portion of dough into a long rope, about 1/2" wide. With the bench scraper, cut 1" pieces of dough from rope and place on a floured sheet pan -- these are your gnocchi. Cook gnocchi at a gentle boil in a large pot of abundant salted water. Gnocchi are done when they bob to the surface and cook about a minute longer. Scoop from water and place in sauce. MUSHROOM SAUCE: Warm the chicken stock and pour over the porcini mushrooms in a bowl. Allow mushrooms to soak at least 20 minutes to hydrate. When hydrated, remove the mushrooms, rinse and trim away any tough gritty bits if present. Coarsely chop the mushrooms and set aside. Filter the mushroom soaking liquid through cheesecloth, a paper or tea towel and reserve. Slice the creminis. Heat a large sauté pan medium-high - you want it large enough to eventually hold both the sauce and cooked gnocchi. Add the olive oil. When shimmering, add the mushrooms and a good pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, and allow the mushrooms to exude their juices. Let the juices cook and reduce down until almost completely evaporated. Add the porcini, garlic and red pepper. Continue to cook until well combined, everything smelling fragrant and beginning to dry out. Add the wine and let reduce. Add 1/2 cup of the mushroom-soaked stock and let reduce until rich, add in another 1/2 cup stock, reducing again. Stir in the parsley. Taste and check for salt; correct if necessary. Turn off heat if the gnocchi has not yet finished cooking. Meanwhile, begin cooking the gnocchi. Gently scoop the gnocchi as it's done into the waiting mushroom sauce. Turn the heat to med-high and add another 1/2 cup of the stock, turning gnocchi to coat. If the gnocchi looks like it can absorb more stock, add in a little more -- you don't want it to become too soft. Fold in the butter and truffle oil. Garnish with grated or shaved parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the gnocchi, use a ricer to get the potatoes as smooth as possible. This will help them hold their shape when they're boiled.
  • Don't overwork the dough when you're making the gnocchi. Overworking it will make them tough.
  • When you're boiling the gnocchi, make sure the water is salted and at a rolling boil before you add them. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when you're boiling the gnocchi. If you do, they will stick together and become mushy.
  • To make the mushroom sauce, use a variety of mushrooms for the best flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they're browned and tender. This will help bring out their flavor.
  • Add some white wine to the mushroom sauce to deglaze the pan. This will help to add depth and complexity to the flavor.
  • Finish the mushroom sauce with some heavy cream or crème fraîche. This will make it rich and creamy.

Conclusion:

Potato gnocchi with mushroom sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, and the mushroom sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
