Ingredients

  • 2 pounds frozen potato gnocchi
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Dash ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

  • Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese and nutmeg until blended. Keep warm.
  • Drain gnocchi. In a large heavy skillet, cook remaining butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown (do not burn). Add mushrooms and gnocchi. Cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until gnocchi are lightly browned and mushrooms are tender. Serve with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Yield: 5 servings.

Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

couldn't find the frozen gnocchi so I had to make my own, but it will be a recipe that I choose to make again.

You need to saute some onion, some sweet peppers, and some other cheese, that you like such as strong cheddar cheese, chopped garlic, and some pepper

I made this and there was no flavor at all. I was very disappointed.

This recipe looked promising, but I found the sauce to be a bit bland and in need of some zing. Might be good with a different alfredo sauce.
