Ahhh February…
I kinda, sorta dislike February.
Ok, if I’m being brutally honest, January is my least favorite month, followed by February. Why? Because of the cold and snow, of course! Since I live near Chicago, you can bet that we haven’t seen the last of the brutal temps yet. But, if I’m trying to look on the bright side, February is one month closer to March, which is closer to April, which means that spring is (hopefully) on its way!
See? I’m allll about positive thinking!
February (and January) also symbolizes everything that’s to come this year. Since it’s often cold and dreary around here, it seems like it can be the most boring of months, with everything ahead of us to still look forward to….spring, summer, warm weather, etc.
But, since I’m trying to “warm” up to February, I thought I would start on a positive note by bring you this Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi with Mushrooms for 30 Minute Thursday!
If you’re new around here, 30 Minute Thursday happens on the first Thursday of every month and is delicious day where myself and some of my blogging friends share meals that can be made in just 30 minutes! Sounds pretty good, right?

Believe it or not, this was the first time that I made gnocchi! I know, I’ve been living under a rock. But, it’s not the first time that I’ve eaten it. It’s one of my favorite dishes to order out, so I decided it was time for me to make it myself. And let me tell you, this is a meal-time winner!
Let’s start with the gnocchi. Just prepare it according to the package directions and your potato pasta is ready to go. They’re like little pillows of pasta perfection!
And that garlic Parmesan cream sauce. Man, oh man, is it good! You know that I love garlic Parmesan anything, so it was practically a no-brainer to combine the two. Chicken broth, a touch of heavy cream, flour, and shredded Parmesan cheese is all it takes to whip up this easy (and cheesy) sauce.
And then there’s the mushrooms. Oh, mushrooms, how I love thee. You could leave these out if you’re a mushroom hater, but please don’t, they make this Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi extra delicious!
Some tips to remember:
Don’t boil the gnocchi too long. Most package directions say between 3-4 minutes, or until the gnocchi starts to float. If you boil the pasta too long, it becomes mushy.
Be sure to add the shredded Parmesan cheese when the gnocchi is almost done simmer. If you add it too soon, it’ll end up in clumps, instead of being creamy.
If the sauce is too thick, add about 1/2 tablespoon-2 tablespoons of additional heavy cream to thin out.
So, if you’re in need of an easy dinner (and who isn’t!) then grab those ingredients and whip up this flavorful and oh-so easy Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi with Mushrooms!
