INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil the Gnocchi: Start by boiling water for the gnocchi. Fill a large pot with water and add a tablespoon of salt. Place it over high heat and cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the chopped onion to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add the chopped garlic cloves and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes until they become tender and golden.
4. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour 1/2 cup of dry white wine into the pan. Let it simmer on medium heat until the wine reduces by half.
5. Create the Creamy Sauce: To the pan, add the heavy cream, 1/4 cup of pasta water, shredded truffled pecorino cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together and allow the cheese to melt into a creamy sauce.
6. Incorporate Sundried Tomatoes and Spinach: Once the cheese has melted, mix in the roughly chopped sundried tomatoes and spinach. Let the spinach wilt for about 1-2 minutes, then add the cooked gnocchi to the pan.
7. Final Touch: Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste. Give it a final stir and your delicious dish is ready to be served.
