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.

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) package gnocchi
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
4 cups baby spinach
1 (5.2 ounce) package garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin®)
¾ cup reserved pasta water

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat, and pour in cream.
  • Scoop out 3/4 cup of pasta cooking water and set aside. Place spinach in the bottom of a colander and drain the gnocchi over the spinach to wilt it.
  • Stir cheese into the skillet and add reserved cooking water; keep stirring until cheese is melted.
  • Add gnocchi and wilted spinach to the skillet and stir until well combined. Serve immediately.
