Gnocchi With Arugula, Morels, and Taleggio

A DELICIOUS invention inspired by a trip to the local Italian market

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 500  g  gnocchi (I used spelt gnocchi, but any neutral flavoured kind will do)
• 2 -4  teaspoons butter
• 3  garlic cloves, minced fine
• 1⁄2-1  teaspoon  chili flakes (depending on spice tolerance)
• 100  g morels, diced (or other available fresh mushrooms)
• 3  cups arugula, minced
• 1⁄2 cup taleggio, shredded
•  salt and pepper, to taste
•  arugula leaf, for garnish

Directions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over med heat. Add garlic and chili flakes, cook 2 min, until garlic is fragrant but NOT brown.
2. Add mushrooms and desired amount of salt and pepper, cook until mushrooms are beginning to soften.
3. Add gnocchi, cover and cook 3 minutes.
4. Uncover, add arugula, and cook 2 more minutes.
5. Stir in shredded taleggio before serving, garnish with arugula leaves.
6. NOTE: some packaged gnocchi says you must boil them, but most cook beautifully using this method.
