Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
  • Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently stirring to coat the gnocchi in the creamy sauce.
  • Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For an extra depth of flavor, try browning the mushrooms separately before adding them to the skillet.
  • Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version.
  • Want some spice? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers? Store in an airtight container and reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream or broth.
