Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby Bella mushrooms
• 1 whole bulb Garlic
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Shallot
• 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon, freshly ground Black pepper
• 30 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even pieces.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Step 5

Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste with a fork.

Step 8

Stir the roasted garlic paste into the skillet with the mushrooms. Add the chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 9

Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Step 10

Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and incorporated.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot as a side dish, or spoon over toasted bread, pasta, or your protein of choice. Enjoy!
