Question: What Amount of vegetable broth, cream and parmesan in this recipe?
So quick and easy to makes. Looks amazing. Love the boy's drawings on the frig!
So no homemade gnocchi?
Tried this dish for dinner. It was easy, fast and delicious. Thank you.
That escaping gnocchi at 3:43 really messed with my OCD.
I'll pass on vegan recipes like this moving forward. The insulin spike is probably off the charts.
❤️Another Fantastic Recipe! I love watching your cooking videos!🧑🍳 I make YouTube cooking videos too. 🌹I love learning from creative and talented creators like you! 👍🏻
Made this tonight and it was a hit!
Just made this tonight. Unless there's something that seems very off, I always try to stay true to the original recipe the first time I make something. It was very tasty. But my wife and I both agreed that the pepper was a little too much. I'll just cut it back a bit the next time I make it. Great recipe. Thanks!
I'd prefer the term meat-free, not meat-less. Different attitude.
Followed instructions and was a bit salty. Given the parmesan, the additional salt could be omitted. Be certain to eat it all after you make it, after a day in the fridge the leftover portion turned into a solid gluey mass. The freshly made taste was gone with an unpalatable texture.
I made this last night and it was a hit! I will definitely put this in my regular rotation. I used chicken stock, but reduced the amount because of saltiness. I'd recommend tasting before salting this dish.
Thank you, Ashley. I only cook 1-2 nights per week as my wife is a retired foods (Home Ec) teacher and she loves to cook. This was so simple for me and delicious and meets two of my top criteria for a good recipe: quick and one pan. When wifey says "I'd let you make this for me again" I know it's a hit! Served with a just baked loaf of artisan bread, used to sop up the last bit of sauce was wonderful. It earned me an A+.
I just made this dish and it is very easy to prepare and very rich and flavorful. Will definitely make this again!
Cremini are button mushrooms that have been allowed to see the sun. It’s marketing hype they named them differently.
I thought it was pronounced "no-chee", rhyming with the last names of the Italian women I dated.
I made this tonight and it was awesome!!! Really easy to halve.
This is an outstanding recipe. Easy, fast and great tasting. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you! As a vegan, this is SO easy to veganize by swapping to vegan butter, parm and cream.
I can't wait to make this! 😊💜
Love the recipe. But I wish you would correct the door knobs on the double doors that are crooked. It’s distracting while you are talking.
Can this be frozen?
Made this dish tonight. Was very tasty! Did anyone else have problems with the parmesaen clumping and making wads of goo? What did I do wrong?
I always wash my mushrooms. A quick rinse in the colander.
I LOVE gnocchi!!! This looks delicious 😊
Great recipe. More meatless recipes, please!
That is a one helping recipe right,,,,,,,, looks great
besides. butter is vegan/////// so are cheese and cream
I made this, but accidentally bought "Pesto Gnocchi" and it was absolutely awful…WHY DID THEY MAKE PESTO GNOCCHI???? IF YOU WANT PESTO JUST ADD IT!
Going to try again and either make my own gnocchi or find some proper store bought 😀
Oh my gosh. I'm praying I can eat this soon! Yum!!
I’d love to hear ATK’s take on msg. I’m using more Asian-made condiments in cooking lately and they very often use msg. (I also like using Better Than Bullion which uses it.) My understanding is, as long you and your family don’t have a sensitivity to it (mainly resulting in headaches), it’s okay to use. So maybe avoid it when cooking for guests, but otherwise have at it? Really, the amount of msg per serving is extremely small and a tiny amount adds a lot of flavor. Thanks!
Thank you. I'm looking to do more vegetarian meals this year and this one is on my list!
I’m so glad to hear about washing mushrooms! I love them, but it’s a pain in the neck to wipe them off. Also, if I’m in a hurry and I’m going to cook them immediately, I like to use pre-sliced mushrooms and they really need to be dunked to get clean. No more guilt! 🤣🤣
Great tips but why meatless, this dish would only be enhanced with hamburger. Sorry Vegans.
Looks amazing
Are the ingredient a
amounts listed somewhere? Looked like 1 lb mushrooms, 1/2 cup broth, 1/4 cup cream, but not sure about gnocchi or Parmesan.
Totally out of topic. I like your hair. Just beautiful!
I've been a big fan of ATK for as long as I can remember, but these vids with Ashley and quick meals has become one of my favorites!
Shelf-stable gnocchi is actually really, really good! It is not heavy at all, and it sits in your pantry patiently waiting for you. Better than a boyfriend!
I love the way Ashley explains everything. I'm always looking for something to add to gnocchi.
Those mushrooms weren't done when you added the cream..
This is why I love this channel. It's basically a culinary science lab. They dispel myths by actually testing things. They end up learning what even the best chefs in the world don't know because those chefs do what they were trained to do.
I want to know what pan she used!
Thank goodness these Apple products are water resistant, I was drooling over my iPad watching this. And so simple too!
