Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter: Helps to sauté the mushrooms and garlic adding richness to the dish.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil: A healthier fat alternative that enhances the flavor of the mushrooms.
  • 8 oz white mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms are key to this recipe offering a firm texture and earthy flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced: Adds an aromatic punch that elevates the dish.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream: The base of the creamy sauce providing a silky texture.
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese: Introduces a salty nutty flavor that complements the cream.
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened: Adds to the creaminess and helps thicken the sauce.
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that adds depth and a hint of warmth.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances all the flavors in the dish.
  • 1/4 tsp pepper: Provides a subtle spiciness.
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish: Adds color and freshness to the dish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Make sure to have all ingredients ready. Clean and slice the 8 oz white mushrooms, and mince the 2 cloves garlic.
  2. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Add the prepared mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing until tender, about 5-7 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Add the creamy ingredients: Reduce the heat to medium and pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream, followed by 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and 2 oz cream cheese. Stir well to combine, allowing the cheeses to melt into the cream.
  5. Season and thicken: Sprinkle in 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Keep stirring the mixture until it becomes bubbly and smooth, ensuring a nice, thick sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
