Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 16- oz. packages potato gnocchi
  • 10 oz. baby spinach leaves
  • 6 oz. pancetta (diced)
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk

  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)

  4. To the fat left in the pan, add butter and mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour to combine and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and cook until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
