Ingredients

  • 16 ounces gnocchi uncooked
  • ½ cup shitake mushrooms
  • ½ onion finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons truffle oil or to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the mushrooms, onions, and gnocchi. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, add more oil if needed, and cook for 20 seconds.
  • Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese and cook for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens.
  • Once the sauce thickens, turn off the heat, add the truffle oil, and season with salt.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Boiling the gnocchi is unnecessary since it only takes 2-3 minutes to cook and can be prepared directly in the sauce. It will save you time and effort to cook the gnocchi in the sauce instead of boiling it separately.
  • I recommend seasoning the gnocchi with kosher salt and adding truffle oil as a finishing touch just before serving. Keep in mind that truffle oil should not be cooked, as exposing it to high heat can diminish its flavor and aroma.
