Ingredients

  • 1.5 tablespoon 30mL olive oil
  • 6 g approximately 2 tablespoon dried porcini mushrooms
  • 150 g mushrooms sliced
  • ½ brown onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 250 mL cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 500 g gnocchi
  • Truffle oil to serve
  • Microherbs to serve

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat. In a small bowl add porcini mushrooms and one third of a cup of boiling water. Allow to soak.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and onion to olive oil. Sauté until soft and browned, approximately six minutes.
  • Add garlic and thyme and sauté for a further two minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove porcini mushrooms from the water and chop roughly. Add porcini mushrooms and soaking water to the pan and stir.
  • Add cream, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring sauce to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Allow sauce to reduce by one third - 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in salted, boiling water according to package instructions. Once cooked, remove and add straight to sauce.
  • Toss to coat before dividing into four serves. Top with truffle oil, microherbs and extra cracked black pepper.

Notes

  • For microherbs, I used green shiso. Rocket, chive, pea tendrils etc. will also work.
