  1. Sauté 8 oz (225g) sliced mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tbsp margarine in a large non-stick skillet until tender.
  2. Add 1 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp dried thyme.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is reduced by two-thirds (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  5. Add 2/3 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (or sherry, or a combination of broth and 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce), and a dash of hot pepper sauce (to taste).
  6. Increase heat to medium-high; cook and stir until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  7. Add 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp milk powder and 2 tbsp cornstarch.
  9. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
  10. Stir the milk mixture into the sauce.
  11. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  12. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  13. Reduce heat to low; stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or other cheese of choice), 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano.
  14. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  15. For a vegetarian version, ensure to use vegetable broth throughout the recipe.
