Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 lb gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While the gnocchi cooks, melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low and add the 1 cup heavy cream and 4 oz crumbled gorgonzola. Stir until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until it reaches a silky consistency.
Step 5
Season with the 1/2 tsp black pepper (add salt only if needed, as gorgonzola is salty). Serve immediately, garnished with the 1/4 cup microgreens.
