Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by sautéing sliced mushrooms in butter until their juices release and they develop a browned surface, then seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian herbs. White wine is added to deglaze the pan, loosening browned bits and introducing acidity to brighten the sauce.
A cream and cornstarch mixture is whisked in to thicken the sauce gently over low heat, achieving a smooth, luscious consistency that coats the mushrooms. Fresh parsley is stirred in last to add color and freshness.
This sauce pairs well with various dishes such as grilled meat, poultry, or pasta, adding a creamy, savory layer. It is recommended to serve the sauce immediately, though leftovers can be refrigerated for up to five days and thinned with liquid when reheated to restore proper texture.
Ingredients
- 12 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1/2 cup white wine or White Cooking Wine
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper.
- Cook the mushrooms until the juices from the mushrooms are released and they are browned.
- Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and heat for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add in the white wine, deglaze the bottom of the pan and cook for approximately 1 minute until the mixture boils slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream and cornstarch.
- Stir this mixture into the saucepan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Top the sauce with the fresh parsley and then it’s ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Serve the mushroom sauce immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The sauce thickens when cooled; thin it with a bit of water or milk when reheating to regain desired consistency.
