Oh-My-Gnocchi!

Serves: 4
Easy
Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

80g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
400g mixed mushrooms, cleaned, halved if large
3 garlic cloves, crushed 
8 sage leaves, sliced
500g fresh gnocchi
½ cup walnuts, chopped

METHOD:

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frypan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and sage. Sauté until the butter starts to brown and the mushrooms soften.

2. Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2–4 minutes or until the gnocchi floats to the surface. Drain gnocchi and add to the frypan, tossing it through the mushrooms and butter. Continue to cook until the gnocchi is lightly golden.

3. Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped walnuts.
   

When using mushrooms be sure to NEVER wash them in water. A mushroom can act like a sponge and soak up the water. Instead, use a paper towel or pastry brush to wipe away any dirt. Use a mixture of swiss brown, button, oyster and shiitake mushrooms for this recipe.
