Gnocchi with Mixed Mushrooms and Spring Onion

Method

1. Finely slice the spring onion and garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sauté the spring onion and garlic until softened.
3. Add the frozen mixed mushrooms directly into the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cover the pan and cook over high heat until the mushrooms release their water and are thawed.
5. Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the mushrooms start to sizzle.
6. Add a small amount of tomato sauce and stir to coat the mushrooms.
7. Add frozen basil (or fresh) and cook for another minute.
8. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water according to package instructions until they float.
9. Drain the gnocchi, reserving a little cooking water, and add them to the pan with the mushrooms.
10. Add a splash of the reserved cooking water and toss everything together over medium heat.
11. Grate fresh pecorino cheese over the gnocchi and mix well.
12. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and, optionally, a pinch of chili flakes. Serve immediately.
