Ingredients

• 500 grams Cremini mushrooms (or white button mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 pinch Red chili flakes (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems and slice the mushrooms into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown. The mushrooms will release their juices initially, but these will cook off as they brown.

Step 5

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using), and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh parsley and thyme over the mushrooms and toss gently to evenly coat them with the herbs.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Allow the heat of the mushrooms to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the Italian mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with more parsley, if desired, before serving warm.
