Best 6 Gnocchi With Wild Mushroom Brown Butter Sage Sauce Recipes

GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whether you're using homemade or storebought gnocchi bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a large pan. When the butter starts to foam add the sage leaves. Watch the butter swirling from time to time until the butter starts to brown then turn off the heat. This should only take 1 minute or 2.
• When the gnocchi floats to the top of the water remove them with a slotted spoon to the butter sauce. The added water will sizzle in the pan and gives added flavour to the sauce.
• Toss the gnocchi in the sauce and serve.

GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour a mound of kosher salt onto a rimmed baking sheet. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and nestle them in the salt; this prevents the potatoes from browning and draws out their moisture. Bake the potatoes until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let sit until just cool enough to handle.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a potato ricer; discard the skin. Press the flesh through the ricer onto a floured counter or cutting board; let cool 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spread out the potatoes slightly. Beat the egg with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and drizzle over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the potato mixture with 1 cup flour and knead until a smooth dough forms, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 10 minutes.
• Lightly flour your surface. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll into "snakes," about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1/2-to-1-inch lengths with a bench cutter or knife; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly dust with flour.
• Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter develops brown flecks and smells nutty. Watch it closely to keep the butter solids from burning. Remove from the heat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi; wait until they float to the surface, then simmer 30 more seconds. (Taste one to make sure it's cooked through.) Return the brown butter to medium-low heat. Scoop the gnocchi from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to the skillet and toss until some of the brown-butter flecks stick to the gnocchi. Add the red pepper flakes, sage and a few tablespoons of the gnocchi cooking water; toss again. Remove from the heat and add half of the cheese. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining cheese.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For gnocchi:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly; cut potatoes in half and scoop pulp into large bowl. Mash potatoes well. Mix in egg yolk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in enough flour to form firm, slightly elastic dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Gently roll 1 portion between hands and work surface to form 1/2-inch-thick rope about 18 inches long. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece over tines of dinner fork to make grooves in gnocchi. Arrange gnocchi in single layer on floured baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 portions of dough.
• Working in small batches, cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until gnocchi rise to top and are tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to large baking pan. (Gnocchi can be prepared ahead. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
• For mushroom sauce:
• Cook butter and olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add stock and sage; simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add gnocchi to sauce in skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add arugula and stir until wilted. Divide equally among bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Sprinkle with cheese.

GNOCCHI WITH WILD MUSHROOM BROWN BUTTER SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Microwave the russet potato until thoroughly cooked, set aside to cool. Press the cooled potato through a ricer into a large mixing bowl.
• 2. Add the egg and egg yolk, cheese, sea salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir gently into the potatoes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and fold into the mixture until just incorporated, do not over stir. Bring the mixture together and form into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill 15+ minutes.
• 3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the remaining flour onto a clean work surface and reserve the last 1/4 cup in an adjacent pile. Retrieve the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal pieces. You're now ready to form the gnocchi. Working with approximately 1/4 of the dough mixture at a time, and adding as much flour needed to keep from sticking to the surface as you go, gently roll each portion into long strands approximately 12" in length. With a sharp knife or pastry cutter, slice each length into 1" pieces. Next, while pressing the tines of a fork against your work surface, roll each 1" dough piece up against the tines of the fork's back and then down again... this will form slight groves around the gnocchi that once cooked, will help the gnocchi hold sauce. You will end up with approximately 1 inch long by 3/4 inch wide grooved ovals. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Yield should be about 48 gnocchi. For best results, place gnocchi in the refrigerator to cool and set, about 2 hours.
• 4. To cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pasta pot of water to boil. On another burner, heat a large skillet. To the dry skillet, add the wild mushrooms and pine nuts and allow to sear briefly; remove from pan and set aside. To the same skillet, add the butter, sage leaves, onion and garlic. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are almost translucent and the sage leaves are crispy. Taste test for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired (about a pinch each.)
• 5. Meanwhile, add a teaspoon of sea salt to the pasta water. Remove the gnocchi from the refrigerator and drop into the salted, boiling water. With a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi as soon as they float to the surface and add to the sauté of sage, onions, etc. Gently brown the gnocchi, ensuring each is coated in the butter mixture. Gnocchi will have a delicious, lightly crisped exterior, but will remain soft and fluffy inside. Once the gnocchi are gently browned, add the mushrooms and pine nuts back to the pan to warm through.
• 6. Serve family style sprinkled with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese.

GNOCCHI WITH SAGE-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi pasta, and cook until they float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and is beginning to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sage and salt for a few seconds, then add the cooked gnocchi. Toss gently with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and the pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to serve.

THE NEW GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER THYME SAUCE

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave the potatoes, turning once, until tender, about 12 minutes. Cut the hot potatoes in half and score the flesh to allow the steam to escape. Let the potatoes cool until cool enough to handle, then scoop the flesh into a ricer (see Cook's Note) and rice into a medium bowl. Spread evenly in the bowl to continue to allow the steam to escape. Discard the skins. Add the flour, salt and pepper and gently toss to combine. Form a well and add the egg. Starting in the center, mix well with your hand to combine. Place the dough on a clean counter dusted with flour. Knead the dough just until blended, 4 or 5 times.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece with your palms on the work surface into a 1/2-inch-diameter rope (about 20 inches long). Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece over a wooden paddle with ridges or over the tines of a fork to form grooves in the dough. Place on a well-floured surface. Continue with the remaining dough, dusting the gnocchi with additional flour as you go.
• Cook the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the thyme leaves. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt.
• Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the surface, about 1 minute. Continue cooking until the gnocchi are tender, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the gnocchi to the hot thyme butter in the skillet. Toss to coat.
• Spoon the gnocchi and butter sauce into shallow bowls. Top with the Pecorino and serve.
