Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 250 grams mushrooms (button or cremini, sliced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
In a large pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and are golden brown.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the sauce hot over freshly cooked pasta of your choice, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
