Ingredients
Scale
- For the Gnocchi:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Creamy Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and salt. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and thyme, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the gnocchi and add them to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead by preparing the gnocchi and sauce separately. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, gently warm the sauce in a skillet and add the gnocchi until heated through.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
