Ingredients

1

package (16 oz) potato gnocchi

1/4

cup plus 2 tablespoons butter

1

package (8 oz) baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1

tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

1/4

teaspoon salt

1/4

teaspoon pepper

2

teaspoons finely chopped garlic

1

bag (5 oz) baby spinach, coarsely chopped

1/2

cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Additional thyme leaves, if desired

Preparation

In 3-quart saucepan, cook and drain gnocchi as directed on package.

In 12-inch stainless steel skillet, heat 1/4 cup butter over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until butter begins to brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat, and transfer to small bowl.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet; cook gnocchi over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.

Stir in mushrooms, 1 tablespoon thyme, the salt, pepper and half of the reserved brown butter. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender. Stir in remaining half brown butter and the garlic; cook and stir about 1 minute or until fragrant. Gradually add spinach to skillet; continue cooking just until wilted.

Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.
