Ingredients

3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms

1 cup boiling water

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

1/3 cup whipping cream

1 1/4 cups purchased marinara sauce

1 pound purchased potato gnocchi or 8 ounces dried gnocchi pasta

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1
Place porcini in medium bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over. Let stand until porcini are soft, about 30 minutes. Remove porcini from water, reserving soaking liquid. Finely chop porcini.
Step 2
Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add porcini and sauté 3 minutes. Add cream and 3/4 cup soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind in bowl. Simmer until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Stir in marinara sauce; bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to simmer before using.)
Step 3
Cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain.
Step 4
Add gnocchi to sauce and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.
