Ingredients
  

For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature Ensure it's at room temperature for a smoother sauce.
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup heavy cream Can substitute with non-dairy alternatives.
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup chicken broth For vegetarian option, use vegetable broth.
  • ½ tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
For the mushrooms
  • 16 ounces white button mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed Can substitute with cremini or shiitake mushrooms.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  2. Once melted, add the cleaned mushrooms. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and their moisture is released. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and cover them with foil to keep warm.
Making the sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Reduce the heat and whisk in the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Continuously stir until the mixture is smooth and the cheese has fully melted.
  3. Add the Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth while whisking to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
  5. Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet, gently tossing them in the creamy sauce to coat evenly.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

The mushrooms can be served with grilled chicken or steak, over rice or pasta, or as an appetizer on bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, store the sauce without the mushrooms for up to 1 month.
