Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Gnocchi Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, activated charcoal powder, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

  2. 2

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Mushroom Fricassee Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the assorted mushrooms and thyme to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked gnocchi with the mushroom fricassee. Serve topped with fresh arugula, coppa slices, and shaved truffle pecorino cheese.
