Note

For best flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties such as cremini, button, and shiitake.

If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese at the end.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to restore creaminess.

Ensure mushrooms are patted dry before cooking to prevent steaming and promote browning.
