Balsamic Mushroom Gnocchi
Balsamic Mushroom Gnocchi! This vegan or vegetarian dish is so delicious, perfect for Fall. Saucy balsamic mushroom sauce with gnocchi and fresh basil.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms, I used cremini and shiitake, cleaned and sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons butter, or vegan butter, I like Earth Balance
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until browned and reduced, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions until just al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the gnocchi.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then add in the thyme, sage and cook another minute or so until fragrant. Add in the butter, balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water and cook to form a sauce. Add in the cooked gnocchi and stir until combined. Add in the basil and stir until combined. Season to taste as needed with salt/pepper and red pepper flakes, if using, then serve.
