Gnocchi with pesto and mushrooms

by bloomingwithflavors

Simple and delicious gnocchi stir-fry with mushrooms and fresh pesto. This gnocchi dish is super quick to prepare, delicious and healthy!

This gnocchi stir-fry is incredibly delicious and easy to prepare. Crispy fried gnocchi, aromatic mushrooms and fresh, flavorful pesto make the perfect dish. Whether for lunch or dinner – this gnocchi pan always tastes good.

I recommend you to do more of these immediately. The gnocchi can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days. You can also cook in advance.

For this recipe, I made homemade gnocchi because I simply find them the most delicious. You can also use store-bought gnocchi from the refrigerated section.

Ingredients for the gnocchi dish

  • 1 kg of gnocchi
  • 800g brown mushrooms
  • butter

Pesto

  • 1 bunch coriander (or parsley)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 40 ml olive oil
  • 50g pine nuts (roasted) + a few for the topping
  • salt and pepper

How to prepare the gnocchi pan with pesto and mushrooms

  1. Cook gnocchi in salted water according to package directions. Once they float to the surface, skim off and set aside.
  2. Clean and slice mushrooms.
  3. For the pesto, wash the coriander thoroughly, peel the garlic and roast the pine nuts. Process all ingredients in a food processor or with a hand blender into a pesto. Taste the pesto well.
  4. Heat a large pan with some butter. Add the gnocchi and sear on all sides. Add mushrooms and sauté for another 5-10 minutes until nicely golden brown.
  5. Stir in the pesto and season the gnocchi pan to taste.
  6. Serve gnocchi with pine nuts and fresh herbs.
