1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
Preparation:
1. Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Build the Flavor Base: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
3. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour the white wine into the skillet and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
4. Create a Creamy Sauce: Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
5. Finish and Serve: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
