Summer Gnocchi With Sweet Corn And Mixed Mushrooms Recipes

GNOCCHI WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add squash and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid, drain gnocchi and transfer to skillet. Toss gnocchi, adding enough cooking liquid to create a sauce. Remove from heat and stir in basil, cheese, butter, and lemon juice.

SUMMER GNOCCHI WITH SWEET CORN AND MIXED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then continue to cook until tender and golden brown all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the leek, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until leek is just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the corn and garlic, then continue to cook until corn is bright yellow and tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar and honey, then stir in the reserved mushrooms and toss to combine.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the gnocchi and add to the skillet with the corn and mushroom mixture. Add the reserved cooking water and cook over low heat, stirring to coat, about 1 minute. Add the butter, 1 pat at a time, until well coated and saucy. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil.

ELOTE SUMMER GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Preheat a stovetop or outdoor grill over high heat. Rub the corn with the oil and place on the hot grill. Cook, turning often, until the corn is charred all around, about 8 minutes total. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the butter. Once melted, stir in the shallot, garlic and half of the corn. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Add the cream cheese and heavy cream and cook over low heat until the mixture has reduced by half, and slightly thickened.
• In the meantime, bring a large pot of cold water to a boil. Season liberally with salt, and add the gnocchi. Cook according to package directions. Remove about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the gnocchi and add it to the sauce.
• Stir the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir in the cotija cheese, and lime juice. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more salt or pepper as needed. Garnish with the remaining corn, cilantro and paprika.
