While reading my cookbooks and cooking magazines, I have come across several recipes that call for gnocchi. However, I have never been able to find gnocchi in the store. When I was shopping at Target a while ago, I finally came across some gnocchi. It was in the regular pasta aisle in vacuum-sealed packages. I got 4 packages—2 regular and 2 mushroom. The first recipe I tried was fine, but it wasn’t really spectacular. This recipe, however, was spectacular. I served it as a side dish, and we all loved it. The recipe is from the package of Archer Farms Mushroom Gnocchi.
1 package (17.6 ounces) mushroom gnocchi
4 slices bacon, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chopped onion
5 ounces sliced shiitake or regular mushrooms (I used regular)
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 cup heavy cream (I just eyed it—I probably used a little less than 1 cup)
Salt and pepper
Cook gnocchi according to package directions; drain.
Cook bacon in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft (I added some salt to the onions while they cooked). Add mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are soft. (I added pepper while the mushrooms cooked.)
Add cream; bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in gnocchi; salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 4 servings.
