Porcini Gnocchi with Mushroom Sauce

I use ready-made stuffed porcini gnocchi for this dish and make the sauce from scratch. Fry the mushrooms, add cream and Parmesan, then finish with thyme and a little lemon. It is ready in about 30 minutes.

What sauce goes with stuffed gnocchi?

Creamy mushroom sauce with Parmesan and fresh thyme complements the porcini filling. A little lemon juice adds freshness. The sauce uses button mushrooms; the porcini are already inside the ready-made gnocchi.

Using ready-made chilled gnocchi

I use seasonal ready-made porcini-filled gnocchi from the chilled aisle. Follow the package instructions: some products can be pan-fried directly, while others need boiling first. Brown in butter as appropriate, then gently combine with the sauce.

Kitchen tips

If the sauce is too thin, simmer it uncovered a little longer before adding the gnocchi. If too thick, add water a splash at a time. The sauce also works with ricotta-, cheese- or spinach-filled gnocchi.
