Cauliflower Gnocchi in Asiago Mushroom and Spinach Sauce

[heart_this] · Oct 15, 2018 · 7 Comments

Cauliflower Gnocchi in Asiago Mushroom and Spinach Sauce

Homemade cauliflower gnocchi in a creamy asiago mushroom and spinach sauce!

Today is National Mushroom day and I am cooking up a tasty mushroom and asiago sauce to serve on some soft and pillow-y cauliflower gnocchi! This mushroom sauce is so easy to make, you saute the mushrooms along with some onions in butter, add some garlic and thyme before creating the sauce with broth, cream and asiago cheese. I like to add a bit of green to this dish, and make it healthier, by adding plenty of baby spinach. The sauce only takes about 30 minutes to make and that is plenty of time to boil some water and cook the gnocchi making for a quick and easy meal that is definitely worthy of a special occasion!

    We made this last night with milk, because we did not have any cream and Parmesan instead of asiago. It was absolutely delicious! We woke up this morning talking about how we need to make it again. Thank you!
