Observations
Can I use fresh mushrooms?
Of course. Generally speaking, 0.5 oz (15 gr) of dried (or dehydrated) mushrooms are equivalent to 3.5 oz (100 gr) of fresh mushrooms. In this first course you will need to use about 7 oz (200 gr) fresh mushrooms (of course you will have to clean and slice them).
What can I use instead of soya cream?
In this recipe we have used a very mild cream, but you can easily use classic cooking cream. If you want to stay lactose-free, try rice cream.
Can I store gnocchi with mushrooms?
Yes. You can store the seasoned pasta in an airtight container in the fridge or cover the dish with cling film. Maximum 2 days in the fridge,
Which pasta format should I use for a mushroom sauce?
Instead of gnocchi you can use many other short pasta shapes: farfalle, rigatoni, pennette. Drain the pasta al dente and finish cooking it in the pan with the mushroom sauce.
Which mushrooms can I use?
We have used a mushroom mixture but you can also use only champignon mushrooms or only porcini mushrooms.
