Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup Marsala wine see note for substitutions
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, to garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prep and Sauté the Vegetables : In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened and golden.
  • Add Garlic and Dijon : Add the chopped garlic and Dijon mustard, sautéing for about 1 minute until aromatic.
  • Pour in Marsala Wine : Increase heat slightly and pour in the Marsala wine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off and the flavors meld together.
  • Create the Creamy Base : Add heavy cream, reducing the heat back to medium. Stir in cornstarch, allowing the sauce to thicken while simmering for about 5 minutes.
  • Season and Serve : Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a finishing touch, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over pasta, grilled chicken, or as a flavorful dipping sauce.
