Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms:
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and any liquid they release has evaporated.
- Cook the Garlic:
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Make the Creamy Sauce:
- Add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Add the Parmesan:
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to achieve your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve:
- Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of elegance.
