Easy Mushroom Sauce

April 28, 2009

This rich and creamy mushroom sauce turned out delicious, but was whipped together without recording accurate measurements. I did my best to recall how much of each ingredient was used, but feel free to deviate from this recipe as you see needed.

Mal and I wanted to make a creamy, mushroom-y sauce to top our Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti, but we couldn’t find a recipe that we already had all of the ingredients at home. With a little experimentation and good luck, we started with simple sauteed mushrooms and ended with a thick, garlicky mushroom sauce that took practically no time to throw together. 

Makes 2-3 servings

Ingredients: 

6-7 ounces of sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chicken (or vegetable) broth
1/2 cup white wine
3-4 large cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions:

  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauteed for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Turn heat to low, and add broth, white wine, and garlic. Cook until mushrooms are soft.
  • Add one tablespoon of flour at a time. Stir rapidly, letting the flour thicken the sauce. (Mal used a whisk to stir the sauce.) Continue to add flour and stir until sauce is at your desired consistency. 
  • Add chopped parsley and mix until blended evenly into sauce. 
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Serve over pasta and enjoy with fresh Parmesan.

Finally, a pasta sauce up my alley! No tomatoes, no alfredo, just lots of mushroomy goodness. I might have to give it a go :D

Oh yum, that sounds delicious! I wish that any (ANY!) of my regular dinner partners could stand mushrooms so I could give it a try.

Just wanted to let you know I made this recipe this evening to top my mushroom stuffed rigatoni. Made it as written but used beef broth instead and it’s a winner. I’ve already booked marked this page for the future.
Thanks a bunch!
