Recipe notes
When I make this I chop the mushrooms in a small food processor. I love mushrooms, but my husband isn’t such a fan of them. It isn’t the flavor he dislikes, it’s the texture.
But, I’ve found that if I chop them up really fine, almost to a puree, he doesn’t mind them. If you want to try chopping them in the food processor, make sure to cut them in quarters first, otherwise they’ll just bounce around on the food processor blades.
*For those of you who are new to my blog, I don’t work for Island Trollers, I just adore them! I did get some tuna from them in exchange for writing some recipes.
But, I do it because I love them, not because they pay me. Check out where I talk about experiencing the tuna and how I got to know them in my Tuna Chowder post.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 leeks cleaned, white and light green parts chopped
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms

Simmer, uncovered, for about 5, minutes or until liquid begins to thicken. Fold in gnocchi, tuna, and any liquid from the tuna. Transfer to the prepared dish.
