Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ medium onion, finely chopped

12 ounces (340 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced

23 cloves garlic, minced

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard

⅓ cup dry white wine (or vegetable broth)

1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)

1 pound (450 g) shelf-stable potato gnocchi

2 cups fresh baby spinach, packed

½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  • Sauté aromatics:
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.

  • Add mushrooms and garlic:
    Stir in the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and begin browning.

  • Deglaze and add flavor:
    Add the Dijon mustard and pour in the white wine. Stir and let it simmer for about 1 minute to reduce slightly.

  • Cook the gnocchi in the sauce:
    Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the uncooked gnocchi. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes.

  • Add spinach:
    Remove the lid, stir in the spinach, then cover again and cook for another 3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted and the gnocchi are soft.

  • Finish with parmesan:
    Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of wine or cream to thin it.

  • Serve and garnish:
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy hot and creamy right from the skillet!

Notes

  • If you prefer a slightly tangier sauce, add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or basil can be added for an extra layer of flavor.
  • This dish tastes best when served immediately but reheats beautifully for lunch the next day.
