Mushroom gnocchi with tomato sauce

Pasta/Pizza - Mushroom gnocchi with tomato sauce by Monica G. - Recipia

Tomato paste goes into the pan with mushrooms and garlic, and mushroom gnocchi with tomato sauce are ready after a minute in boiling water. The sauce clings to the gnocchi, with slices of mushroom throughout and grated Parmesan on top. I cut the mushrooms into fairly thick slices so they don't disappear into the sauce. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 20 minutes. Total time: 30 minutes. Servings: 2. Approximately 500 kcal and 17 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 medium onion (75 g)
  • 250 g mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 liters water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 400 g gnocchi
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 30 g Parmesan

Preparation

1. Clean and wash the mushrooms, then slice them. Cut the onion into thin strips and crush the garlic. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan, add the onion, mushrooms and garlic, then cook for 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let the sauce cook for 1 more minute, until the mushrooms are soft. 3. Bring 2 liters of water with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil, about 10 minutes. Add the gnocchi and cook for 1 minute, then drain. 4. Add the gnocchi to the pan with the sauce and toss for 1 minute, until coated. Divide between plates and grate Parmesan on top.

Notes

Serve with a simple, crunchy green salad. Leftovers keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can use brown mushrooms instead of white ones, in the same amount. Choose firm mushrooms with smooth caps, not soft or wrinkled ones. If they're large, slice them more thinly so they cook at the same time as the smaller ones.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the sauce watery?

Mushrooms can release a lot of water, especially if the pan is crowded. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, until the liquid reduces.

Can I use oyster mushrooms?

Yes. Cut them into strips about 1 cm wide and cook until tender; they may need a few minutes longer than button mushrooms.

How do I know when the gnocchi are cooked?

When they float to the surface, taste one. If the middle is no longer floury, drain them right away.
