Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 x 400g packs fresh gnocchi
1 tbsp olive oil
knob of butter
1 large onion, roughly chopped
500g small Forestière or Portobello mushrooms, sliced
2 large garlic cloves, chopped

small pack parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the gnocchi following pack instructions. When they float to the top of the pan, they are ready. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large lidded frying pan. Add the onion and mushrooms, cook for 1 min over a high heat, then turn down the heat to medium, put the lid on and cook for 5 mins, stirring a few times.
  • Remove the lid and add the garlic, cook for 1-2 mins, then stir the gnocchi into the pan. Scatter over blobs of cheese and the parsley.

For an easy midweek dinner, mix mushrooms with blue cheese, gnocchi and spinach. A no-fuss meal and it's nutritious, too, counting as two of your 5-a-day

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

250g mushrooms
500g fresh gnocchi
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
160g bag spinach
100g blue cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Slice the mushrooms and put in a roasting tin with the gnocchi, then drizzle over 3 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 25-30 mins or until the gnocchi are golden, stirring occasionally to stop them sticking.
  • Once the gnocchi are ready, stir half the spinach into the tin to wilt it, then crumble the blue cheese over the top. Put it back in the oven just to melt the cheese, then serve with the remaining spinach, drizzled with a little olive oil.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best gnocchi texture.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooking will make the gnocchi gummy.
  • Rice the potatoes while they are hot: This will help to create a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Mix the ingredients together until just combined. Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the gnocchi: Don't press down too hard, or the gnocchi will become dense.
  • Cook the gnocchi in batches: Don't overcrowd the pot, or the gnocchi will stick together.
  • Don't boil the gnocchi for too long: They should float to the top of the water when they are done.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi with mushrooms and blue cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The gnocchi are soft and pillowy, the mushrooms are earthy and savory, and the blue cheese adds a rich and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
