I love how creamy this mushroom spinach gnocchi is even though it only has a little bit of cream in it. So good! I used a mix of shiitake, flat and enoki mushrooms this time, but you can really use whatever mix of mushrooms you like best. I also used my favourite Salt Box garlic salt which as usual was an excellent addition.

This dish is an excellent one to have up your sleeve for those nights you just can’t be bothered cooking but still want something delicious and (relatively!) healthy. You can definitely have it on the table in less time than it would take to order takeaway, that’s for sure!
