Gnocchi

Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms

Béchamel Sauce

Method

Making Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and cut into 1-inch pieces. Press each piece gently with a fork to create ridges.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Sautéing Spinach and Mushrooms

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Cook Mushrooms

    Add the local mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and browned.

  3. 7

    Add Spinach

    Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Making Béchamel Sauce

  1. 8

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. 9

    Add Flour

    Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  3. 10

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 11

    Season the Sauce

    Add nutmeg, salt to taste, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Combining Everything

  1. 12

    Mix Gnocchi and Spinach-Mushroom

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked gnocchi with the sautéed spinach and mushrooms. Pour the béchamel sauce over the mixture and gently toss to combine.

  2. 13

    Serve

    Serve the truffle gnocchi warm, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
