Time 3h

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

Gnocchi
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
3 pounds orange-flesh sweet potatoes (often labeled
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
About 3 cups flour
Assembly
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup sliced shallots
1 pound mixed mushrooms such as chanterelle, cremini, king trumpet, matsutake, and oyster*
2 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces baby spinach leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Make gnocchi: Drain ricotta in a strainer over sink, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.
  • In a large bowl, combine 3 cups sweet- potato purée (save extra for another use), strained ricotta, sugar, cheese, salt, and nutmeg. Gently stir in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  • Working on a floured surface, divide dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion with your hands into a 15-in. rope, then cut into 1-in. pieces, sprinkling dough with flour if it gets sticky. Transfer gnocchi to a rimmed tray lightly dusted with flour.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Working in batches of 15 to 20, drop gnocchi into water, stirring to prevent sticking, and cook until gnocchi are firm and float to top of water, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a strainer and then to a lightly oiled rimmed pan to cool.
  • Assemble gnocchi: Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi to pan and cook, stirring often, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large serving dish.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tbsp. oil in a second large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, butter, spinach, salt, and pepper; cover and cook until spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
  • Spoon vegetables over gnocchi and pour in broth. Sprinkle with thyme and half of parmesan. Serve with remaining cheese.
  • *Leave whole any soft mushrooms such as oysters and slice or quarter large, dense mushrooms like the cremini and king trumpets.
  • Make ahead: Prepare through step Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 weeks.

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.

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

  • 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.

SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup plus 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus for dusting the work surface
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a fork, lightly prick holes all over the sweet potatoes. Set the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined roasting tray and bake until fork tender, 30 minutes.
  • While still hot, cut the sweet potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the 1 cup Parmesan, olive oil, brown sugar, thyme, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Beat on medium speed until the ingredients come together. Increase the speed to high and mix until light and airy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Dump the sweet potato mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead, adding small amounts of flour at a time, until the dough comes together and holds as a single mass. When done, the dough should be light and tender to the touch. Place in a floured bowl, cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough in half on a lightly floured work surface. Roll each half into a 3/4-inch-thick rope. With a sharp knife, cut the ropes into 1-inch "pillows."
  • Bring a medium saucepot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • While the gnocchi are cooking, set a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt until frothy and nutty-smelling. Drain the gnocchi, reserving some of the cooking water; add the gnocchi straight to the saute pan. Toss to brown lightly, then season with salt and pepper. Once browned, you can add a little of the pasta water to make a light sauce. Divide among serving plates and shower with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH



Sheet-Pan Roasted Mushrooms and Spinach image

If you love to cook but don't always feel like cooking, this minimalist recipe is the recipe for you. Great with just about any protein - salmon, steak, chicken or even eggs, wrapped into an omelet - it comes together in under a half-hour, and develops loads of character from its time spent in the oven. While this versatile vegan side pairs well with protein, it's also great over rice or noodles.

SWEET POTATO NOODLES (JAPCHAE)



Sweet Potato Noodles (Japchae) image

Provided by Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee

Categories     Beef     Dinner     Lunch     Meat     Noodle     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 or 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces sweet potato noodles
1/2 bunch spinach (about 4 ounces), rinsed and trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces beef rib-eye, cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick strips
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 medium onion, sliced
3 to 4 pyongo or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 carrot, shredded or cut into thin strips
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup sugar
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the sweet potato noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Be sure not to overcook the noodles, or they will lose their chewy texture. If you like, cut the noodles with scissors into 6- to 7-inch lengths for easier eating.
  • Blanch the spinach in boiling water. Rinse immediately under cold water, squeeze the water from the leaves and form into a ball, and then cut the ball in half. Combine the spinach, half the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside to let the flavors soak in.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion, mushrooms, and carrot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions and stir-fry for another minute. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the noodles, beef mixture, spinach, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and the sugar. Serve warm, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • For a crispy texture, pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick skillet with a little olive oil until golden brown.
  • To make the gnocchi ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe instructions and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, pan-fry the gnocchi until heated through.
  • If you don't have sweet potatoes on hand, you can use regular potatoes instead. Just peel and boil the potatoes until they are tender, then mash them until smooth.
  • Feel free to get creative with the sauce. You can use a tomato-based sauce, a pesto sauce, or even a simple butter sauce.
  • Garnish the gnocchi with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or thyme, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato gnocchi with mushrooms and spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, the mushrooms are earthy and flavorful, and the spinach adds a pop of freshness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
