Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini and oyster mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small leek, white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (see Cook's Note)
4 ears of corn, shucked and kernels sliced off
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pats
One 17.5-ounce package refrigerated potato gnocchi
Torn fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then continue to cook until tender and golden brown all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the leek, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until leek is just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the corn and garlic, then continue to cook until corn is bright yellow and tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar and honey, then stir in the reserved mushrooms and toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the gnocchi and add to the skillet with the corn and mushroom mixture. Add the reserved cooking water and cook over low heat, stirring to coat, about 1 minute. Add the butter, 1 pat at a time, until well coated and saucy. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil.

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.

CRISP GNOCCHI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BROWN BUTTER



Crisp Gnocchi With Brussels Sprouts and Brown Butter image

For a fantastic meal that can be ready in 20 minutes, toss together seared gnocchi and sautéed brussels sprouts with lemon zest, red-pepper flakes and brown butter. The key to this recipe is how you cook the store-bought gnocchi: No need to boil. Just sear them until they are crisp and golden on the outside, and their insides will stay chewy. The resulting texture is reminiscent of fried dough. Shelf-stable and refrigerated gnocchi will both work here, but the shelf-stable ones do crisp up a bit better.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound brussels sprouts (or cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower or even cabbage)
1 lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (18-ounce) package shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 6 pieces
1/2 teaspoon honey
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim and halve the brussels sprouts. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thick strips of lemon zest, then coarsely chop. (You should have about 2 teaspoons chopped zest.)
  • In a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the brussels sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then arrange the brussels sprouts in an even layer, cut-side down. Scatter the lemon zest over the top and cook, undisturbed, until the brussels sprouts are well browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Break up any gnocchi that are stuck together, add them to the pan and cook, covered and undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and honey, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden, nutty smelling and foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the brussels sprouts until warmed through. Serve with grated Parmesan.

CRISPY GNOCCHI WITH BURST TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA



Crispy Gnocchi With Burst Tomatoes and Mozzarella image

Pan-fried gnocchi is like a faster version of baked pasta. Store-bought gnocchi can simply be browned in a pan for an exciting mix of crispy outsides and chewy middles, no boiling required. This dish is studded with juicy tomatoes and melty pockets of mozzarella. Cherry tomatoes are reliably more flavorful year-round than larger, more watery varieties like beefsteak and heirloom. (That said, taste yours, and if they're more tart than sweet, add 1/2 teaspoon sugar in Step 2.) Toss the tomatoes with browned butter, red-pepper flakes and garlic, then hit them with a little heat, and they'll burst into a bright sauce. Stir in the gnocchi, dot with mozzarella, then broil until the cheese is molten and the tomatoes are blistered in spots.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 (12- to 18-ounce) packages shelf-stable or refrigerated potato gnocchi
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pints small tomatoes, such as cherry, grape or Sungold
1/4 cup thinly sliced or torn basil leaves (optional), plus more for serving
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut or torn into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler with a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • In a large (12-inch) skillet on the stovetop, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (about 1 tablespoon) over medium-high. Add half the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi and olive oil.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring often, until golden-brown and toasty, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, reducing the heat slightly if necessary to avoid scorching. Add the tomatoes and 3 tablespoons water and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and the liquid has slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Smash the tomatoes as they burst to help them along.
  • Add the seared gnocchi and 1/4 cup basil (if using), stir to coat, then shake into an even layer. Top with the mozzarella and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with more basil, red-pepper flakes and black pepper as desired.

Tips:

  • Use good quality gnocchi: Fresh or frozen gnocchi will work best for this recipe. Avoid using dried gnocchi, as they will not crisp up as well.
  • Cook the gnocchi in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the gnocchi. Cook them in batches so that they have room to crisp up.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help the gnocchi to crisp up and prevent them from sticking.
  • Do not move the gnocchi around too much: Once you have added the gnocchi to the pan, do not move them around too much. This will prevent them from breaking up.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately: Gnocchi is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Crispy gnocchi with mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The gnocchi are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the mushrooms add a savory and earthy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
