Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
For this recipe, Gnocchi and Mushrooms, I use starchy water to de-glaze the skillet and thicken the sauce. For added flavor, you could also use white wine or broth.
Sun-dried tomatoes give this recipe a wonderful flavor and color. However, I have made this recipe with fresh cherry tomatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, or even tomato paste. They all work well and taste great, so pick the one that works best for you.
If you have fresh herbs I recommend you use them. Fresh oregano, basil, or thyme would work wonderfully in this recipe.
The mushrooms and sundried tomatoes pair well in the recipe. However, use the vegetables that you like. Try zucchini, eggplant, asparagus, peppers, spinach, or onions. Try combinations or vegetables to really make this dish a vegetarian delight!
