Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipes

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine, and allow to sizzle while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Stir in cream and chicken broth, lower heat to medium, and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens but does not separate, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saute pan over low heat. Add garlic and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms, cook 5 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in cream and heat slowly. When the sauce has reached a velvety smooth consistency, remove from stove. Stir in leek and serve immediately with chicken Marsala ravioli.

CREAMY MUSHROOM GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to create a smooth paste. Slowly add half-and-half and continue to stir to prevent any lumps. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.

CREAMY HERB-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallots and mushrooms in butter, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• Stir in flour, thyme and parsley. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
• Gradually stir in half-and-half and wine until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM SPINACH GNOCCHI WITH CREAMY BOURSIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat, and pour in cream.
• Scoop out 3/4 cup of pasta cooking water and set aside. Place spinach in the bottom of a colander and drain the gnocchi over the spinach to wilt it.
• Stir cheese into the skillet and add reserved cooking water; keep stirring until cheese is melted.
• Add gnocchi and wilted spinach to the skillet and stir until well combined. Serve immediately.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH MILK

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; do not use a nonstick skillet for this sauce. Spray lightly with cooking spray; add mushrooms. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms just begin to release their juices. Add garlic and stir. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released more juices and garlic is nicely cooked. Transfer mushroom/garlic mixture with juices to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel; you do not want burnt garlic bits in your sauce. Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat until beginning to bubble and foam. Sprinkle in flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Once the roux has darkened slightly, add milk, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking smooth between each addition.
• When all of the milk has been incorporated, add mushroom mixture and juices back into the pan and bring to a very slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE FOR PASTA

Steps:

• Place porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until plumped up, about 30 minutes.
• Pour mushrooms and soaking liquid into a coffee filter or fine mesh sieve set over a bowl. Save soaking liquid for sauce. Rinse rehydrated mushrooms well to remove any grit, then coarsely chop.
• Add butter to a large, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When butter has melted, add parsley and garlic; stir to combine. Stir in chopped mushrooms. Moisten the mixture with a few tablespoons reserved soaking water. Cook, stirring a few times, until the moisture has largely evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Add cream and wine and stir to combine. Cook at barely a simmer until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE/GRAVY

Steps:

• Saute the mushrooms in a couple tablespoon butter until they loose their moisture and are just beginning to brown (about 10-12 minutes) set aside.
• In a medium saucepan cook the butter and flour over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture turns a light golden color (about 6-7 minutes).
• Whisk in the stock and wine, stirring until the mixture thickens.
• Lower heat and simmer for about 12-15 minutes.
• Add in the cream, and Parmesan cheese (if using) whisk until combined, then add in sauteed mushrooms; simmer for additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce coats the back of the spoon.
• Season with salt and pepper.
