Recipe: Gnocchi with Chorizo, Mushrooms and Parmesan

Store-bought gnocchi is great for quick lunches as they cook in no time at all. For only RM10 per pack, each pack will yield 4 servings (that's two lunches for us), so it's definitely great value for money.

When The Unc came back from his holidays, he brought us some nice Spanish chorizo, as well as 30-month aged Parmesan, which I thought would work very well with gnocchi. Hence, this Gnocchi with Chorizo, Mushrooms and Parmesan dish was born. Super simple to make with delicious flavours - we would definitely be making this again! :)
