Description

Potato cauliflower pillows are surrounded in a bath of mushroom marsala sauce for a weeknight dinner that screams fancy pants, but this simple Skillet Mushroom Marsala Gnocchi is ready in 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 6-oz package cauliflower gnocchi
  • 1/4 tsp salt, to taste
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup vegan broth, divided
  • 1 Tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, cleaned, stems trimmed, and cut in half
  • 3/4 cup marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 cups baby spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook the gnocchi: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the gnocchi. Season with salt and pepper and pour in ¼ cup of the broth. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. 
  2. Baste the gnocchi: Uncover and add the butter, tilting the pan to cover the bottom of the pan as it melts. Cook until the gnocchi is toasted (about 3 minutes) and rotate the gnocchi to cook the other side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Make the sauce:Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ¾ cup of vegan broth, along with the marsala, coconut milk and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Finish the dish: When the sauce is reduced, fold in the spinach and add in the gnocchi. 

Notes

  • Spoiler Alert: Skillet Mushroom Marsala Gnocchi is best eaten when served but will stay fresh in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
  • For non vegans: Serve cooked, sliced chicken breast over the gnocchi.
