Prepare the Gnocchi

1. Cook the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow to cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Shape the Gnocchi

Divide the dough into small sections and roll each into a rope about 1 cm thick. Cut into 2 cm pieces and press each piece with a fork to create ridges.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the truffle oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the mixed mushrooms, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

7. Finish with Parsley

Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and stir in the grated Grana Padano cheese until melted and smooth.

In a large baking dish, layer the cooked gnocchi with the sautéed truffled mushrooms and pour the cream sauce over the top. Toss gently to combine.
