Corsican Chestnut Gnocchi with Wild Mushrooms

A subtle addition of chestnut flour to the gnocchi recipe adds a pure, faintly sweet, and earthy flavor and results in slightly darker color. In Corsica, in the high Alps of Provence, and in Liguria, chestnut flour is used to achieve these effects. This flour is available online or at high-end Italian groceries. It stales quickly, so remember to stock up when it’s fresh in autumn and keep it frozen until you’re ready to use it.
