FAQ ❓

Can I use fresh mushrooms?

Of course. Generally speaking, 15 g of dried mushrooms are equivalent to 100 g of fresh mushrooms. For this first course, you will need about 200 g of fresh mushrooms (which you will, of course, need to clean and slice).

What can I use instead of soy cream?

In this recipe, we used a very mild cream, but you can easily use regular cooking cream. If you want to use a lactose-free product, try rice cream.

Can I store mushroom gnocchi?

Yes. You can store the dressed pasta in an airtight container in the fridge, or cover the dish with cling film. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

What pasta shapes can I use with mushroom sauce?

Instead of gnocchi, you can use many other short pasta shapes: farfalle, mezze maniche, rigatoni, pennette, or pennoni. Drain the pasta when al dente and finish cooking it in the pan with the mushroom sauce.
