Mushrooms and Garlic and Cream Sauce, Oh My!
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1- 1/2 pound Fresh White Or Crimini Mushrooms, Sliced Fairly Thin
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced (large Cloves)
- 13 cups Marsala Wine
- 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (Oh Yeah!)
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme, Chopped, Divided Use
- For Serving: Garlic Bread Or Cooked Pasta
- Melt butter in skillet over medium heat until just foaming.
- Dump in the mushrooms and stir.
- Add salt and pepper (this will draw the moisture out of the mushrooms and create some liquid to help them cook).
- Cook on medium or medium low for about 15 minutes until this liquid evaporates.
- Add garlic and marsala and let simmer for another 5 -7 minutes until marsala cooks down.
- Add chicken stock and simmer for 2 3 minutes, then add cream.
- This will start smelling heavenly about this point .

- .
- Simmer for another 3 minutes or so until the sauce thickens a bit.
- Stir in 1/2 of the thyme.
- If the liquid is not thickening up to your liking, sprinkle in a little Wondra flour (specially formulated flour to mix in well with soups and gravies you can find it in a shaker canister on the baking aisle at your supermarket).
- When sauce has thickened a bit, serve mushrooms over garlic bread or over bowtie pasta.
- Garnish with the remaining thyme.
- We had it over mini bowtie pasta and it was the perfect amount for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children).
- Would also be great served on mini-garlic bread slices (crostinis) and served as appetizers!
- Fabulous!
- To prepare the garlic bread: Slice French bread into thin slices and toast.
- Take a mashed and peeled clove of garlic and rub it all over the bread.
- Voila!
- Garlic bread!
