Crispy Gnocchi for a Simple and Indulgent Dinner
To switch things up from the classic pasta dishes, dare to try gnocchi with mushrooms. But opt for this pan-seared version for a result that is both crispy and melt-in-your-mouth; it’s a true delight! In addition to being incredibly simple and quick to make, this recipe, perfect for weeknight meals, is also economical. No need for a thousand ingredients to cook a good homemade dish!

You can, of course, vary it to suit your mood with a splash of cream for a richer, creamier dish, with bacon bits or ham to add animal protein, or with spinach to add a touch of green to your plates. We chose button mushrooms for their economical appeal, but you can of course use any mushrooms you prefer. Make sure to brown them well until they stop releasing water so as not to soften the pan-seared gnocchi. Parsley is optional, but always appreciated for the eyes and the taste buds 😋
