Green Gnocchi with Fondue and Mushrooms: A Recipe to Savor

Gnocchi is a deliciously satisfying Italian dish traditionally made with potatoes and flour. This green gnocchi recipe, however, introduces a unique twist with the addition of spinach and ricotta cheese, providing a fresh and healthy touch to this classic dish.

But a gnocchi dish isn’t truly complete without a delectable sauce. This recipe features a comforting and hearty fondue made of cheese and cream, and a generous serving of earthy mushrooms to round out the flavors.

Ingredients

For the gnocchi:

– 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 egg yolk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the fondue:

– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
– 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the mushrooms:

– 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp butter
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the gnocchi. Cook the spinach in boiling water until wilted, then drain and chop finely. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough is formed.

2. Divide the dough into four equal parts. On a well-floured surface, roll each portion into a rope about ½ inch in diameter. Cut them into 1-inch pieces. Press lightly with a fork to create an imprint. Repeat with the remaining dough.

3. Boil water in a pot and add salt. Once the water is boiling, add the gnocchi to the pot. Cook until they float to the surface, which takes about 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the gnocchi to a plate.

4. Prepare the fondue. In a pot, heat the cream over medium heat. Add the grated cheeses and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Prepare the mushrooms. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. To serve, transfer the cooked gnocchi to a large bowl. Pour the fondue over the gnocchi and top it with the mushrooms. Serve hot and enjoy!

Conclusion

By combining fresh spinach in the gnocchi with a fondue sauce, this recipe provides a healthy and delicious meal option for mushroom lovers. It’s an easy and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed with friends and family on any occasion. Try it out and turn your dining table into an Italian kitchen. Bon appétit!
