2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and depth of flavor; swap with olive oil for a dairy-free alternative.
1 tablespoon Olive Oil Prevents butter from burning and enhances overall flavor.
1/2 cup Heavy Cream Forms the luxurious base for the creamy sauce; can be replaced with half-and-half for a lighter option.
2 ounces Cream Cheese Softened, enriches the sauce with smoothness and creaminess.
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Grated, contributes a nutty, umami flavor; use nutritional yeast for a vegan alternative.

8 ounces White Mushrooms Offers a meaty texture that absorbs flavors well; substitute with cremini or shiitake for different tastes.
2 cloves Garlic Minced, adds a fragrant kick to the dish; fresh is always preferred for the best flavor.

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Elevates the flavor profile with its blend of herbs.
1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the dish’s overall taste.
1/4 teaspoon Pepper Adds mild heat to balance the richness.

Fresh Parsley Provides a vibrant pop of color and freshness to the finished dish.

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter along with olive oil to prevent burning while enhancing flavor.
Add white mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden and tender, and the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and add softened cream cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Incorporate grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the sauce is hot and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or Parmesan to taste.
Transfer the creamy mushrooms onto plates and garnish generously with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately, whether as a rich side dish or a comforting main course.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, reheat gently to maintain the creamy texture.
