How to Make Mushroom Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to slightly reduce.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or grilled meat.
