- 16 ounces fresh store-bought gnocchi
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 5 cups chicken stock
- 2-3 small Parmesan rinds
- 1 bunch broccolini trimmed and cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup fresh parsley minced, for garnish
- Extra virgin olive oil as needed
- Salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste
Cook the Gnocchi:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the gnocchi and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float and are tender. Drain, rinse, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Set aside.
Prepare the Aromatics:
As you wait for the water to boil, heat the cooking oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Melt the butter into the onions. Once melted and frothy, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they turn a deep golden brown and crisp up around the edges, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
Finish the Parmesan Broth:
Add Gnocchi and Broccolini:
To Serve:
Divide the gnocchi and broth between bowls and garnish with extra virgin olive oil, fresh parsley, and more shredded parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
