This is a quick and great tasting recipe that my son loves, we both think that it would also be a great sauce for steak. I will warn you the sauce whilst yummy tasting is very rich so you will not want large portions as it is very filling. The amounts listed below would be fine for 4 big eaters or 5 smaller appetites.

Ingredients

800g fresh potato gnocchi
1 Tablespoon olive oil
500g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced thinly
1 Onion, chopped finely
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
2 Teaspoons soy sauce
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
80ml Dry red wine
200ml Water
1 Vegetable bouillon cube
11/2 Tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped finely
2 Tablespoons sage, finely chopped
100ml Sour cream
1 Teaspoon cornflour, mixed with a little water
Pepper to taste

Method

1. Heat oil in a pan add, onion, garlic and mushrooms, cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender.

2. Add wine, water, sauces and bouillon cube, stir to dissolve, add cornflour, cook, stirring until sauce thickens slightly, stir in herbs.

3. Meanwhile cook gnocchi in a large saucepan of boiling water, uncovered, until gnocchi rise to the surface and are just tender, drain.

4. Add gnocchi to herb mushroom sauce, toss gently to combine, serve immediately, garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Serves 4-5 (See note above)
