Ingredients

  • gnocchi 1000 g
  • chestnut mushrooms 250 g (sliced)
  • onion 1 (diced)
  • garlic cloves 2 (crushed)
  • double cream 100 ml
  • prosciutto crudo 80 g (shredded)
  • grated Parmesan 80 g

Method

  • Finely dice the onion. Crush the garlic cloves and thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. Tip the gnocchi into the pan, with a pinch of salt and cook until golden and crispy all over. Depending on the size of your pan it might be easier to do this in batches.
  • Transfer the gnocchi from the pan and set aside. Heat another splash of oil in the same pan on a high heat. Cook the mushrooms for 4 minutes. Turn down the heat, stir in the onion and crushed garlic and cook until softened, around 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the double cream and simmer for a minute until reduced slightly. Take the pan off the heat and add the Parmesan. Stir well. You may find you need to add a dash of water to loosen the sauce a little, depending on the consistency you prefer
  • Shred, or roughly chop the prosciutto and stir through the sauce. Toss the gnocchi back into the pan.
  • To serve top with a little extra Parmesan. You could also sprinkle with your favourite herb - we love oregano, chives or basil. Tuck in and enjoy!
