Potato Gnocchi Mushroom Truffle

When combined with mushroom truffle sauce, the soft, pillowy texture of gnocchi creates a mouth-watering pasta dish. Here's our guide on how to make homemade potato gnocchi mushroom truffle:

Ingredients For The Mushroom Truffle Sauce:

• 1 pound mushrooms (e.g., cremini or button), sliced
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or plant-based cream for the vegan option)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Shaved Parmesan (or vegan alternative for the vegan option)

Make The Potato Gnocchi:

1. Set the oven's temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2. Puncture the potatoes using a fork and bake them for about 45 minutes or until tender and easily pierced.
3. Once the potatoes cool slightly, peel and mash them while still warm. Use a potato ricer or masher for a smooth consistency.
4. Season the mashed potatoes with a bit of salt and stir well.
5. Gradually blend in the gluten-free flour to create a soft, non-sticky dough. Add flour slowly and stop when the dough is ready.
6. Divide the dough into smaller pieces and roll each into a long, thin rope. Cut the rope into bite-sized pieces and flatten each with a fork to make traditional gnocchi.

Make The Mushroom Truffle Sauce:

1. In a large skillet, heat the truffle oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until nicely browned, and they release their liquid.
3. Pour in the cream and stir well. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Cook The Gnocchi:

1. Bring a big saucepan of salted water to a boil.
2. Gently place the gnocchi in the simmering water. They are finished when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).

Serve:

1. Plate the homemade potato gnocchi on a dish and drizzle with the mushroom truffle sauce.
2. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish and top with shaved Parmesan (or vegan alternative for the vegan option).
