Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, to taste

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's ok if it lightly browns.
  • Add the mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the Dijon mustard and white wine. Let it bubble for a minute or so.
  • Add the cream and gnocchi. Wait until it starts to bubble again, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach, cover the pan again, and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the parmesan and season with salt & pepper. Give it a taste; gnocchi should be soft. If not, continue to cook for another few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with more parmesan cheese grated over top if desired.

Notes

  • Cremini mushrooms (sometimes labeled as 'baby bellas') or white mushrooms will work great. 
  • This makes 4 reasonably sized portions. If you're feeding extra hungry people, I recommend serving this with a salad, garlic bread, and/or something else.
  • The gnocchi will cook right in the sauce - there's no need to pre-cook it.
