Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and quarter mushrooms. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato.
2. Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes. Stir in half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later). Cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a bowl. Wipe out pan.
3. Add a large drizzle of olive oil to same pan over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
4. Once mushrooms are browned and tender, add gnocchi to pot of boiling water. Cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain.
5. Stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), scallion whites, and remaining garlic powder into pan with mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in 1/3 cup water (1/2 cup for 4), stock concentrate, cream cheese, and half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving). Cook, stirring, until combined and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in tomato, another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), and truffle zest to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Stir drained gnocchi into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated, adding water a splash at a time as needed. Divide between bowls; top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle with as much garlicky panko as you like and serve.
