Gnocchi With Wild Mushroom Saute Food

HERB GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes into a medium saucepan with cold water on medium heat. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until soft enough to mash. Check with a knife to see if potatoes are cooked through and tender. Once ready drain the potatoes.
• When cool enough to handle peel each potato and cut into small pieces and pass them through a potato ricer over a medium size bowl. Add the flour, Parmesan, egg yolks, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper and mix into a doughy consistency adding more flour as needed. Transfer dough to a well floured surface.
• Using your hands roll pieces of the dough into a rope about 1/2-inch in diameter. With a knife cut the rope into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-long pieces. Flour the pieces as you cut them placing them on a floured baking sheet tray or lined with wax paper. Once rolled you can place the gnocchi in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap until ready to cook. When ready to cook place gnocchi in boiling salted water for about 1 to 2 minutes. They will rise to the top when done. Using a slotted spoon remove gnocchi from pot.
• For the sauce
• In a skillet add the butter and mushrooms and saute until nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and gently simmer for another 2 to 5 minutes. Once the sauce has simmered, add the gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.

• Remove pan from the heat, stir in the fresh basil and Parmesan until combined.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For gnocchi:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly; cut potatoes in half and scoop pulp into large bowl. Mash potatoes well. Mix in egg yolk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in enough flour to form firm, slightly elastic dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Gently roll 1 portion between hands and work surface to form 1/2-inch-thick rope about 18 inches long. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece over tines of dinner fork to make grooves in gnocchi. Arrange gnocchi in single layer on floured baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 portions of dough.
• Working in small batches, cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until gnocchi rise to top and are tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to large baking pan. (Gnocchi can be prepared ahead. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
• For mushroom sauce:
• Cook butter and olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add stock and sage; simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add gnocchi to sauce in skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add arugula and stir until wilted. Divide equally among bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Sprinkle with cheese.

GNOCCHI WITH WILD MUSHROOM BROWN BUTTER SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Microwave the russet potato until thoroughly cooked, set aside to cool. Press the cooled potato through a ricer into a large mixing bowl.
• 2. Add the egg and egg yolk, cheese, sea salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir gently into the potatoes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and fold into the mixture until just incorporated, do not over stir. Bring the mixture together and form into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill 15+ minutes.
• 3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the remaining flour onto a clean work surface and reserve the last 1/4 cup in an adjacent pile. Retrieve the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal pieces. You're now ready to form the gnocchi. Working with approximately 1/4 of the dough mixture at a time, and adding as much flour needed to keep from sticking to the surface as you go, gently roll each portion into long strands approximately 12" in length. With a sharp knife or pastry cutter, slice each length into 1" pieces. Next, while pressing the tines of a fork against your work surface, roll each 1" dough piece up against the tines of the fork's back and then down again... this will form slight groves around the gnocchi that once cooked, will help the gnocchi hold sauce. You will end up with approximately 1 inch long by 3/4 inch wide grooved ovals. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Yield should be about 48 gnocchi. For best results, place gnocchi in the refrigerator to cool and set, about 2 hours.
• 4. To cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pasta pot of water to boil. On another burner, heat a large skillet. To the dry skillet, add the wild mushrooms and pine nuts and allow to sear briefly; remove from pan and set aside. To the same skillet, add the butter, sage leaves, onion and garlic. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are almost translucent and the sage leaves are crispy. Taste test for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired (about a pinch each.)
• 5. Meanwhile, add a teaspoon of sea salt to the pasta water. Remove the gnocchi from the refrigerator and drop into the salted, boiling water. With a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi as soon as they float to the surface and add to the sauté of sage, onions, etc. Gently brown the gnocchi, ensuring each is coated in the butter mixture. Gnocchi will have a delicious, lightly crisped exterior, but will remain soft and fluffy inside. Once the gnocchi are gently browned, add the mushrooms and pine nuts back to the pan to warm through.
• 6. Serve family style sprinkled with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH WILD MUSHROOM SUGO

Steps:

• For the gnocchi:
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake potatoes until very soft on a bed of coarse salt in a baking dish, about 45 minutes. (The salt keeps the potatoes from touching the dish and developing a hard spot.) Cool potatoes until warm, then halve lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Pass the flesh through a food mill or ricer, or push it through a coarse sieve. You should have about 4 cups.
• In a bowl, combine potato, egg yolks, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Work the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add 1 cup of the flour and knead very gently, patting and pressing the dough with your hands until all the flour is incorporated. Add some or all of the additional 1/4 cup flour if the dough feels too moist, it should be soft but shouldn't stick to your hands. Transfer dough to a work surface and roll into a log about 3 inches in diameter. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
• Give each piece a quarter-turn so that you are rolling the dough in a different direction, then roll into ropes, a generous 1/2-inch in diameter, as if making breadsticks. Flour the ropes generously, and then cut crosswise at 1/2-inch intervals. You can shape the gnocchi on a ridged butter paddle or on the back of a fork, or you can cook them as is. Let them dry at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
• For the sugo:
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When hot, add oil, and then sprinkle in the mushrooms. Don't stir! Let the mushrooms sizzle and caramelize for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute to release its fragrance. Add the rosemary and shallot and cook for about a minute. Cook briefly to release their fragrance, then add tomato and red wine and simmer until almost evaporated. Add the broth or water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Sprinkle with the parsley and keep warm.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi. They are usually done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface, but test 1 to be sure. Lift them out with a skimmer and transfer to a large platter. Pour the warm sauce over the gnocchi. Grate Parmesan over the top and serve immediately.

PAN-FRIED GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, rosemary, and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe skillet clean and add butter. Cook over medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Stir in arugula and reserved mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH PORK AND WILD MUSHROOM RAGù

Steps:

• Place dried porcini mushrooms in medium bowl; pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 45 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to cutting board and chop coarsely. Reserve soaking liquid.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crimini mushrooms and garlic; sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper and sauté until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup wine and simmer until crimini mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes. Set aside (there may still be liquid in skillet).
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with coarse salt and pepper. Add pork to pot and sauté until browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to medium bowl. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Reduce heat to medium. Add coppa and stir 1 minute. Add sausages and cook until brown, breaking up into small pieces with back of spoon, about 3 minutes. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cover pot and cook vegetables until soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups wine; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed. Add tomatoes, 1 cup broth, bay leaves, reserved pork, and porcini mushrooms. Pour in reserved porcini soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind in bowl. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until pork is tender, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 1 hour.
• Stir crimini mushroom mixture in skillet into ragù. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cool. Cover; keep chilled. Rewarm before continuing.
• Spoon off fat from surface of ragù stir in basil. Add Potato Gnocchi; toss gently to coat. Simmer over medium heat until gnocchi are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide gnocchi and ragù among bowls. Sprinkle with some of cheese and serve, passing remaining cheese alongside.
