Dinner10 min2212 cal / serving

Treat yourself to a luxurious, umami-packed pasta dish that comes together in just 20 minutes. Pillowy potato gnocchi are cooked until tender, then tossed in a silky sauce made with sautéed button mushrooms, garlic, mushroom stock, cream cheese and Parmesan. A swirl of butter and a dusting of truffle zest elevate the flavors to new heights.

For the perfect finishing touch, we add a crunchy, garlicky panko topping that contrasts beautifully with the creamy gnocchi. Garnish with fresh scallions and tomato, pour yourself a glass of wine and toast to a restaurant-worthy dinner at home.

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. While gnocchi cooks, thinly slice the button mushrooms. Dice the tomato. Thinly slice the scallions, separating white and green parts.
  3. In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, half the garlic powder and a drizzle of olive oil. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon cooking oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add cream cheese, mushroom stock concentrate, remaining garlic powder and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Add cooked gnocchi, Parmesan and truffle seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Stir in the white parts of scallions and diced tomato. Cook for 1 minute. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to combine.
  7. Serve gnocchi in bowls, topped with crispy garlic panko, green scallion tops and an extra sprinkle of truffle seasoning if desired.

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the panko in a dry skillet without oil until golden, then drizzle with olive oil.

If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of pasta cooking water or milk.

Truffle seasoning is potent; start with a little and add more to taste.
