Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick slices.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and thyme leaves, continuing to simmer for another 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the mushroom sauce before serving.
Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, meat, or as a delicious warm side.
