Gnocchi With Mushroom Sauce

Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 12 ounces fresh shittake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced shallots
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh sage
• 3 cups arugula, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to top
• 1 pound potato gnocchi

Cook butter and olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to brown, about 2 mintues. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until golden brown, about 10 mintues. Add stock and sage. Simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add gnocchi and cook until most of them float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked gnocchi to the pan with the sauce. Add arugula and stir until wilted. Sprinkle with cheese and stir to combine. Serve in shallow bowls with additional Parmesan.
