Ingredients

  • 6 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 500 g store-bought gnocchi
  • 50 g butter
  • 400 g fresh mushrooms (button, Swiss brown, or oyster), sliced or torn
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp shiro miso
  • 300 ml thickened cream
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Finely grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Instructions

  1. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes. Remove stems, slice, and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float, then simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add both fresh and rehydrated mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. In a small bowl, loosen miso with 2 tbsp warm water. Add to the pan along with cream. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  5. Add drained gnocchi and sherry vinegar. Toss gently to coat. Stir in spring onions and season with pepper to taste.
  6. Divide among bowls and top with grated parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Pan-fry gnocchi before adding for extra texture.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms for depth of flavor.
  • Vegan option: substitute butter, cream, and parmesan with plant-based alternatives.
  • Add greens like spinach or peas at the end for a nutrient boost.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat with a splash of cream or milk.
