FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients (4 people)

For the gnocchi:

  • 400 g of Pecorino Toscano PDO
  • 70 g of cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 egg
  • 30 g of breadcrumbs
  • 30 g of flour
  • 4 tablespoons of EVO oil

For the mushroom cream:

  • 500 g of porcini mushrooms
  • 500 ml of vegetable stock
  • 3 tablespoons of EVO oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • 1 potato
  • Parsley to taste

Instructions

Finely grate the Pecorino Toscano and put it into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and turmeric, then mix them with a wooden spoon. Put the dough on a floured surface, add the egg, flour, and breadcrumbs, and then mix with your hands. Divide the dough into 2 cm thick strands and cut the gnocchi with a knife.

Move on to prepare the mushroom cream. Clean the mushrooms with a kitchen brush, gently remove the cap from the stem, and cut both into thin slices lengthwise. Peel and dice the potatoes. Put the oil into a frying pan and let the garlic brown; add the diced potato and mushrooms, then cook over high heat for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add the vegetable stock, and cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat. Remove the garlic and blend the mixture into a food processor; strain with a soup strainer for a smooth consistency. Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water. Pour the mushroom cream into a soup plate, drain the gnocchi, and gently place them over the cream. Drizzle with EVO oil and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
