Gnocchi with Mushrooms & Parsley

*Gnocchi = dumplings stuffed with potatoes.

16oz bag frozen Gnocchi
8oz pack fresh Crimini Mushrooms....sliced
3 Garlic Cloves....minced
1 1/4 cup fresh Parsley....chopped
1 TB soy butter
2 TB Nutritional Yeast (adds a cheesy flavor)
1 1/2 cups water
Salt/Pepper to season

Add gnocchi to boiling pot of 'salted' water. Boil for 1-2 minutes. Drain water and place gnocchi in bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Refill pot with 1 1/2 cups water and bring to boil. Season water with salt & black pepper. Add mushrooms and garlic. Boil for 10 minutes or until liquid is reduced to half. Add butter and parsley. Sauce will begin to thicken. Add gnocchi back to the pot. Sprinkle nutritional yeast. Stir and serve.
