Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 16 ounces white button or baby bella mushrooms, cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (+ an additional 1/4 cup as needed)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • two 16-ounce packages gnocchi, prepared according to package directions

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms; sauté until golden. Once they’re golden, add salt – this will draw out some of the water. Cook the mushrooms down for 5-7 minutes so some of the water can evaporate. Add garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. (This is a good time to boil your gnocchi if you haven’t already.)
  • Remove thyme sprigs from the sauce. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Add your cooked gnocchi to the sauce and gently stir to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional broth if needed to keep the sauce nice and silky. Serve immediately.
