Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the mushroom gnocchi according to package directions until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the gnocchi cooks, slice the button mushrooms. Thinly slice the scallions, separating white and green parts. Dice the tomato.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and browned, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the cream cheese, mushroom stock concentrate and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese melts and a smooth sauce forms. Add the cooked gnocchi and toss to coat.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue in 15-second intervals until golden and crispy.
- Plate the gnocchi, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, truffle seasoning and the garlicky panko. Garnish with scallion greens and diced tomato. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crunch, toast the panko in a dry skillet over medium heat instead of using the microwave.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of pasta cooking water or milk.
Feel free to swap button mushrooms with cremini or shiitake for deeper flavor.
FAQ
Can I use regular gnocchi instead of mushroom gnocchi?
Yes, plain potato gnocchi works perfectly. The mushroom flavor comes from the sauce and truffle seasoning.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or milk to refresh the sauce.
Can I make this dish vegan?
You can substitute the butter with vegan butter, cream cheese with a plant-based version and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
