Slice 180 g button mushrooms so they can sit in one layer in the pan. Finely mince 2 garlic cloves, measure the cream, parmesan, butter, salt, and keep the truffle oil ready for finishing only. Heat a wide pan over high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter, and spread the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook 3 to 4 minutes without stirring often, letting moisture evaporate and the edges brown instead of steam. Add 35 g parmesan and toss until the sauce clings evenly to the gnocchi. Turn off the heat, drizzle 1 teaspoon truffle oil over the pan, mix once, and serve immediately while the aroma is clear.
