Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 5.2 oz/150g Boursin cheese softened
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • For serving: fresh chopped parsley optional, to taste

Instructions

  • Add the oil and butter to a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, sauté the onion for 4 minutes.
  • Add in the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add in the broth, cream, and gnocchi, and give it a good stir. Once it starts to bubble, let it cook, uncovered, stirring fairly often, until the gnocchi has softened and the sauce has thickened considerably (about 7 minutes). You may need to reduce the heat if it's bubbling a lot.
  • Stir in the Boursin, then take the skillet off the heat and season with salt & pepper as needed and garnish with chopped parsley if using.

Notes

  • Serves 4 as a main course (it's quite rich) so I recommend serving it with something like a salad. It'll feed up to 6 as a side.
  • With a one pan method such as this one, cooking times may vary as every pan/stove is different, so use your discretion as needed.
  • The gnocchi releases starch to thicken the sauce as it cooks. No need to pre-cook the gnocchi!
