Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of dry white wine or marsala to the mushrooms just after sautéing and let it reduce before adding other liquids.
  • To create a spicy variation, sprinkle in crushed Calabrian chili or a pinch of red pepper flakes while the mushrooms cook to infuse the sauce with Italian heat.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the butter with vegan margarine or additional olive oil and use plant-based gnocchi; finish the sauce with a spoonful of nutritional yeast for a cheesy note.
  • For an elegant touch, garnish finished plates with fresh thyme leaves or finely chopped chives, and a drizzle of truffle oil to amplify the mushroom aroma.
