How to Make Mushroom Pasta Sauce

  1. Clean and thinly slice 1 lb of cremini mushrooms.
  2. Finely chop 1 medium yellow onion and mince 3 cloves of garlic.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Sauté the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms.
  5. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the mushrooms until they release their liquid and it evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine and cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. If desired, stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra creamy texture.
  10. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
