Cooking Steps
ā¢ Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. ā¢ Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until floating on the surface, 2-3 minutes. ā¢ Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain gnocchi, then return to saucepan.
ā¢ Meanwhile, finely chop brown onion. Roughly chop tomato. ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook onion and sliced mushrooms, stirring, until softened, 6-8 minutes. ā¢ Add garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
ā¢ Reduce heat to medium-low then stir in plant-based cooking cream, the salt, reserved pasta water, Parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish!) and baby spinach leaves, cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Remove pan from heat and stir through cooked gnocchi until combined. Season to taste. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine tomato, rocket leaves and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Season.
ā¢ Divide creamy mushroom and Parmesan gnocchi between bowls. ā¢ Sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan. ā¢ Serve with rocket and tomato salad. Enjoy!
