Porcini Mushroom And Ricotta Gnocchi Recipe
Caramelized Wild and Tame Mushrooms, Wine Stewed Onions, Olive Oil Cured Tomatoes, and Crispy Garlic. Chef’s Notes: With September comes a cooler feeling in the evening air and the beginning of a fruitful mushroom season in Northern California. From the Mendocino coast come the brilliant and prized Porcini mushroom that we pair with some of its more tame cousins and tender pillows of Cow Girl Creamery ricotta “gnocchi” or gnudi, as they are sometimes called. With the unctuous sweetness of cured tomatoes, from Heidi Watanabe, and crispy garlic playing foil to the earthy richness of the mushrooms, we truly can kick off mushroom season in style.
