SERVES: 4
PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes
COOKING TIME: 25 minutes
Ingredient
1/3 cup Filippo Berio 100% Italian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup Filippo Berio Tomato & Ricotta Pesto
1 lb gnocchi
1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, button and shiitake), stemmed and sliced
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Pinch hot pepper flakes
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup sodium-reduced chicken broth
3/4 cup 35% whipping cream
Method
Prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat; sauté gnocchi for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in separate large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and tender. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened.
Add wine; cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until almost completely evaporated. Add broth and cream; simmer for about 10 minutes or until slightly reduced and thickened.
Stir in pesto. Add kale; cook for about 2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in reserved gnocchi; cook for about 2 minutes or until heated through. Transfer to platter. Serve immediately.
Tip: Try this sauce with any cooked pasta, or served over grilled steak or chicken.
