Spinach Gnocchi in Portobello Sauce Recipe

Prep: 1-1/4 hours Cook: 10 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

75 10 85

Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 quarts water
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
SAUCE:
1/2 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup white wine or vegetable broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup 2% milk
4 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Over warm burner or very low heat, stir potatoes for 1-2 minutes or until steam is evaporated. Press through a potato ricer or strainer into a small bowl; cool slightly. In a Dutch oven, bring water to a boil.
Using a fork, make a well in the potatoes. Sprinkle flour over potatoes and into well. Combine the egg, salt and spinach; pour into well. Stir until blended. Knead 10-12 times, forming a soft dough.
Divide dough into four portions. On a floured surface, roll portions into 1/2-in.-thick ropes; cut into 3/4-in. pieces. Press and roll each piece with a lightly floured fork. Cook gnocchi in boiling water in batches for 30-60 seconds or until they float. Remove with a strainer and keep warm.
In a large nonstick saucepan, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender. Add wine or broth; cook and stir for 1 minute. Combine flour and broth until smooth; stir into pan. Stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in 2 tablespoons cheese and seasonings. Spoon sauce over gnocchi. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
