Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz crimini mushrooms
- salt and pepper
- 16 oz potato gnocchi
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- coarsely ground black pepper
- red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet. Cook sliced mushrooms (seasoned with salt and pepper) on high heat for about 1 or 2 minutes, until lightly browned and softened. Remove half of the cooked mushrooms from the skillet to a plate.
- Make creamy sauce: To the same skillet with the half of cooked mushrooms, add uncooked potato gnocchi, vegetable broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with lid, and allow the gnocchi to cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, while the sauce boils.
- Add spinach: Add fresh spinach, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking.
- Assembly: Season with more salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika, if you like. Top with the remaining half of the cooked mushrooms.
Notes
Use shelf-stable packaged gnocchi for best results. If the sauce thickens too much after reheating or cooling, add a splash of extra heavy cream, milk, or broth to thin it out.
