Fiddleheads are a springtime favourite and taste a bit like a cross between asparagus and green beans. Look for fresh fiddleheads that are bright, firm and tightly coiled.

Ingredients

Method

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Add shallot and garlic; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook fiddleheads until bright green but still crisp, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove and rinse under cold water; drain and set aside.

Add gnocchi to boiling water; cook according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.

Add fiddleheads to mushroom mixture; cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Add gnocchi, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and reserved cooking liquid; toss to coat. Pour into serving dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
