Parmesan Mushroom Kale Gnocchi

Share

This Savory Parmesan Mushroom Kale Gnocchi is made with potato gnocchi, fresh parmesan cheese, kale, vegetable stock, sour cream and brown butter mushrooms. Then is topped with some lemon juice.

If you’re looking for something extra special to make tonight then this may be just the ticket.

In order to make it more savory vs creamy, I balance the  dish with vegetable stock and sour cream which helps to bring forth the herbs and spices that are also added during the cooking process. 

Absolutely delicious!

If you want to make it with cream and the vegetable stock, you can as well. Just make sure your halving the vegetable stock so there is not to much liquid.

I have really started to appreciate Italian cuisines more so over the past few years, before I used to prefer Greek. I guess with time my tastes change and i’m so grateful to be able to dabble in all the amazing flavors that the World has to offer.

I could just eat this type of food everyday, nothing really compares to pillowy soft gnocchi. And when it is tossed in a creamy sauce it’s to die for. 

The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be whipped up in under 20 minutes. Which can make for a quick and tasty weeknight meal in no time. Go ahead indulge no guilt here!

This recipe would be perfect for a romantic dinner idea, think Valentines day or New Years. Also you can add some cooked shredded chicken to this or cooked bacon if desired.

As for me I like it just like this, I’m also a huge sun dried tomato lover SO I will add even more sun dried tomatoes to my dish. However for this recipe, I have cut them in half for my readers as I am sure most of you would prefer a balance of flavors. 

Sprinkle some fresh parmesan cheese on top before serving and you will be in Gnocchi heaven… Bone appetit!

Be sure to saute the sun dried tomatoes for a minimum of 2 minutes in vegetable stock, this really helps to bring out the flavors. Do this before adding back in the cooked gnocchi.
