Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick slices.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
