Ingredients
  

1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

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

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter melts, add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

      Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

          Finish the Sauce: Lower the heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Gently toss to ensure all the gnocchi are coated in the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
