Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb cremini or baby bella mushrooms halved
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ cup dry white wine optional
  • ¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, letting them develop a golden sear.
  2. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter, sprinkle flour, and whisk into a smooth paste. Cook 1 minute.
  3. Stir in garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in wine to deglaze (if using), scraping up any brown bits. Whisk in broth, cream, and Parmesan. Simmer 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in basil and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
