# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under thirty minutes but tastes like you spent hours at the stove
  • The sauce uses simple ingredients to create something velvety and luxurious
  • Perfect for those nights when you want comfort food without the heaviness of pasta
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan when cooking mushrooms or they will steam instead of getting that golden color
  • Gnocchi cooks incredibly fast so stand right by the pot and watch for them to float
  • The sauce thickens quickly off the heat so serve immediately
03 -
  • Skip the boiling step and pan-fry uncooked gnocchi first for extra crispy edges
  • Leftovers reheat surprisingly well with a splash of cream to loosen the sauce
