CopyCat Olive Garden Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and soft, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the pan, then add heavy cream. Stir well and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.

Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the sauce, stirring to coat them in the creamy mixture. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until fully combined.

Remove from heat and serve the creamy mushroom sauce over pasta, chicken, or your favorite dish.
