Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) store-bought potato gnocchi

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

16 ounces (450g) mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, roughly 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add the Mushrooms: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

        Season and Creamify: Sprinkle in the thyme, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Combine: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy mushroom sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra zing.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy mushroom garlic gnocchi!
