Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cook Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
