Gnocchi with Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

Gnocchi

• 2 large potatoes, boiled and cooled
• About 1 cup flour
• 1 liter boiling water
• Salt

Sauce

• 1 tbsp flour
• Mushrooms, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 cup water with a dissolved stock cube
• About 1 liter cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 50 g butter

Method

1. Mash the boiled potatoes well, add about a tablespoon of salt and the flour and knead by hand into a dough. Divide into balls for easier shaping. Roll each into a long thin rope and cut into equal pieces.
2. Let them rest briefly, boil the water and drop in the gnocchi; when they float to the surface they are done. Drain.
3. Heat a pan, add the butter, garlic, mushrooms and spices, then the flour and stir. Add the stock water; once it boils and thickens, add the cream and milk, then the gnocchi. Bring to a boil and serve.

Notes

Gnocchi is much like pasta and works with any sauce: tomato and basil, cream, béchamel, or whatever you like.
