Vegetarian Exotic Mushroom Gnocchi

Tender on the inside and crisp on the outside, this potato gnocchi is steeped in a decadently creamy mushroom and hard cheese sauce, topped with buttery sage, and served with a scattering of nutty pecans. A dinner to remember!

  1. PERFECT PECANS

    Place the chopped pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. CRISPY SAGE BUTTER

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a generous knob of butter. Once foaming, fry the sage leaves until crispy, about 1 minute per side (Use tongs if you have them!) Remove from the heat. Pour the sage butter & sage leaves into a small bowl. Cover and set aside.

  3. CARAMELISE THE MUSHIES

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.

  4. POTATO GNOCCHI

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over high heat, fill with boiling water, and add a pinch of salt. Once bubbling, cook the gnocchi until they begin to float and are heated through, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ a cup of the gnocchi water.

  5. GOLDEN NUGGETS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the cooked gnocchi in a single layer until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  6. CREAMY SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Lower the heat slightly and stir in the cream, ½ the grated cheese, 30ml of milk (optional) or water, the lemon juice (to taste), and seasoning. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes (stirring occasionally). Mix in the fried gnocchi and the mushrooms. Cook until reheated, 1-2 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, loosen with the reserved gnocchi water.

  7. YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!

    Dish up the mushroom gnocchi. Pour over the sage butter & sage leaves (to taste). Sprinkle over the toasted pecans and the remaining cheese. Scrumptious!
