Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 16 ounces shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of large skillet with the olive oil and place it over medium heat.
  • Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the mushrooms in an even layer.
  • Let the mushrooms cook, undisturbed, for about 5 minutes on each side, until tender and browned.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the butter to the skillet. Heat the butter until it melts and begins to bubble.
  • Add the gnocchi to the skillet in a relatively even layer, using a spoon to break up clumps.
  • Let the gnocchi cook for about 4 minutes, flipping them once or twice, until golden all over with brown spots.
  • Push the gnocchi to the side. You can add a bit more butter if the skillet seems very dry. Let it melt, then add the garlic.
  • Cook the garlic for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.
  • Return the mushrooms to the skillet and give everything a stir to combine the ingredients. Stir in the sherry and let everything cook for about 2 minutes more, until the alcohol has cooked off.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide onto plates and serve.
