Mushroom and Creamy Blue Cheese Gnocchi recipe by Cherrypick

An autumnal hug in a bowl. Mushrooms and blue cheese are a match that we all know works in perfect harmony, but add in some fresh thyme and a little kemon to cut the richness and you have yourself a very tasty, well-balanced and easy mid-week meal. The base of this dish would also work well with wholemeal pasta.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat a large frying pan and add a splash of oil. When hot, add the gnocchi and pan fry according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, remove from the pan and leave to one side.

Step 2

Add a little more oil and the butter to the same pan, turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, thyme leaves and chopped **garlic and cook gently for 6-8 minutes. Turn up the heat and add the sliced mushrooms, cook for 6 mins, allowing the mushrooms to fry and brown, not boil or steam. Season well with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the creamy blue cheese with the creme fraiche and add a little lemon juice in a bowl.

Step 4

Stir the pan-fried gnocchi through the mushrooms and pour in the blue cheese mixture. Stir well, add the fresh chopped parsley. Check for seasoning and add a little more lemon if needed before serving.
