Mushroom-lovers, listen up: These babies will send you into total mushroom bliss. They’re sautéed until golden-brown and tender, drenched in a luxe garlic-Parmesan cream sauce, and are just begging you to make them tonight. Now’s not the time to substitute whole milk or half-and-half — go full speed ahead with the heavy cream and you’ll be rewarded with a rich, cheesy, and comforting dish.

You can, of course, serve these as is, with a side of crusty bread to sop up all the richness. But you can also add cooked linguine to the skillet for a creamy pasta dinner. Better yet, spoon them over steak, pork chops, or chicken to dress them up a bit. This also stretches the mushrooms and their sauce to feed a very lucky crowd.

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms

A simple recipe for sautéed mushrooms in a rich and creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.

Prep time 5 minutes to 10 minutes

Cook time 10 minutes to 15 minutes

Serves 4

Nutritional Info

Ingredients

  • 1 pound

    cremini mushrooms

  • 3 cloves

    garlic

  • 1/2 cup

    finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce), plus more for serving

  • 3 tablespoons

    unsalted butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon

    kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon

    freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons

    chopped fresh parsley leaves

  • 1 cup

    heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Quarter 1 pound cremini mushrooms. Mince 3 garlic cloves. Finely grate 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more if desired for serving. Chop 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves.

  2. Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms are well-browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, until the mushrooms are browned all over and just tender, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the Parmesan. Simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan before serving if desired.
