Mushroom gnocchi

This easy dish is a great way to make gnocchi go further, with lots of tasty, earthy flavor. Quick and comforting.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 oz mushrooms (suggest crimini or a mix (see above))
• 1/4 onion
• 1 clove garlic ((small))
• 4 1/2 oz gnocchi (approx (or more to taste/as have))
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable stock ((or chicken stock, but clearly no longer vegetarian if so))
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Wipe clean the mushrooms and trim off the end of the stem. Cut into slices, halved if large. Finely chop the onion and crush or finely chop the garlic.
2. 2Fill a wide pot with boiling water and add the gnocchi, part at a time if making more than one serving. Increase the heat, if needed, to bring water back to a simmer. Once the gnocchi float to the top, remove from the water, draining as you do so, and set aside in a bowl.
3. 3Meanwhile, warm half of the butter in a small-medium skillet/frying pan. Add the onion and cook a couple minutes, stirring regularly, until onion is softened.
4. 4Add the rest of the butter and part of the mushrooms. Stir to soften the mushrooms then add the rest once there is a bit more space (they reduce in size as they cook). Add the garlic, oregano and a little salt and pepper.
5. 5Cook for a couple minutes until the mushrooms have released their liquid, this evaporates off and the mushrooms start to brown slightly. Add in the cooked gnocchi, stir then add the stock. Simmer for a minute or two to reduce slightly then add the parsley, stir through and serve. Optionally, add some cheese on top.
