Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. Divide dough into small pieces and roll them into ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

  2. 2

    Cook the Gnocchi

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the sherry and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, and season with black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Gnocchi and Sauce

    Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi in the sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the gnocchi and sauce, garnishing with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired.
