Gnocci and Mushrooms in a Brown Butter Sauce

Buttery, Nutty, flavorful and delicious, Gnocci and Mushrooms in a Brown Butter Sauce is a wonderful, weeknight meal prepared in less than 30 minutes so you have time for the stuff you’d rather be doing.

During the summer, we have much more time to spend on cooking and meals in general, but that doesn’t mean we always do.

Some nights, we just want to get dinner on the table so we can get back to whatever it is we were doing before that.

Sometimes it’s so we can get back to the pool, the lake or even just a game or TV show we were enjoying together.

It’s nights like that, I just want something easy. It’s nights like that, I turn to simple dishes.

My kids adore gnocchi and most of the time it doesn’t matter how it’s prepared or what it’s prepared with, but I must confess, our favorite “sauce” is a browned butter garlic sauce.

We’re garlic addicts. Have I mentioned that before?

But even if you don’t like garlic, you can leave the garlic out of the browned butter and just enjoy it that way.

The thing we love about this meal is that we simply buy gnocchi from the store. You can make it, nobody is stopping you and we do from time to time. However, for a quick #weeknight meal, we just grab some from the store and go with it.

If your kids are picky like mine, you can grill the mushrooms up separate and eat them all yourself and you can toss some fresh veggies with the garlic butter instead.

However you enjoy your meal, remember to enjoy it together, because even crazy weeknights should be slowed down to a crawl for some family time once in awhile.
