Gnocchi smothered in mushrooms

2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Frozen potato gnocchi
1 pounds Assorted mushrooms
6 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Thyme, chopped
½ cup Marsala or port wine

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and stir gently. When the gnocchi float to the top, after about 2 min, scoop them out and place them in a bowl. Cover to keep warm.

2. Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms. Melt 3 tbs of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until bubbly but not brown.

Add the mushrooms and toss to coat with the butter. Add the chopped thyme. Cook, tossing, until the mushrooms are tender, 4-5 min. Add the marsala and boil, stirring constantly, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 min.

3. Whisk the remaining 3 tbs butter into the mushrooms and toss the sauce gently with the drained gnocchi.
