This recipe is how I started eating mushrooms at nearly 30 years old. I cut up the mushrooms, follow the recipe and add fettuccine and serve with pan seared chicken. It’s so so good! I cook it for myself and my husband often.
Very rich, i added white wine after sauteeing, before the creamy ingredients. Very tasty!!
Sounds amazing! Thank you for the review!
Tastes good.

Fantastic! I served them with mushroom ravioli….After I finished the sauce, I thought I should have doubled it, but it was enough if served with a salad.
Made this for myself & love it! Intend to make for a family get-together dinner but one member of the family can’t eat mushrooms. If I just want to make the sauce and serve a vegetable on the side, do I skip the olive oil entirely, or how should I adjust it?
(I should probably add some Accent/MSG to make up for the lost umami too, right…?)
I just made this and doubled the sauce and added chicken served over pasta,it was fabulous!!! Next time I’ll use shrimp!!!
I wonder if this will freeze well.
