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, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss the cooked gnocchi in the creamy sauce until well coated. 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, warm the sauce gently on the stove and add the gnocchi until heated through.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
