Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with olive oil for a lighter twist.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Helps sauté the mushrooms and garlic; can be replaced with any neutral oil.
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) Provides a pungent, aromatic flavor; fresh garlic will yield the best taste.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Adds creaminess to the sauce; softened blends better, or use ricotta as a substitute.

  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Creates a smooth sauce; half and half or whole milk can be used.
For the Mushrooms

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, toss in 1 pound of whole white mushrooms, sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese to the sautéed mushrooms. Stir continuously until melted and combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low, introduce 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the mixture. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of dried ground oregano, stirring to blend. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Once thickened, taste and adjust with salt and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep an eye on the mushrooms while cooking to avoid mushiness. Use fresh garlic for best flavor, and ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth melting.
