And all it takes is just 20 minutes to cook this sauce. Also, did I tell you with just a handful of ingredients? 🙂
To make this delicious Italian mushroom recipe, you could use brown mushrooms or even closed cup mushrooms. Generally, the meaty and plump ones work better here. Also, while I have detailed the recipe for you, you can easily tweak it to suit your taste. For instance, you could add more or lesser of the onions and garlic quantities I have mentioned. Moreover, I have added white wine to make my creamy garlic butter Tuscan mushrooms, but you could leave it alcohol free too. Chicken or vegetable stock work as a wonderful substitute to white wine here.

Deliciously creamy
This divine mushroom sauce is meant to be creamy so you really can’t skimp on it! However, you could choose to add half and half or even single cream, if you are feeling health conscious. And if you’d like to go all the way and indulge yourself then heavy cream is what you need to add here. The only thing you need to bear in mind is to not soak the mushrooms in water in order to clean them. Just wipe each of them with a moist kitchen towel or party brush, to remove dirt from them. If you soak them in water, they will absorb water and become spongy. And this will prevent them from browning when cooked. In fact, remember to always clean mushrooms just this way.
