  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Whisk until smooth and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi to the creamy sauce, stirring to coat. Mix in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  5. Fold in the sautéed mushrooms, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
