Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mushrooms — Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before slicing. You can use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any dirt or debris. Avoid washing them under running water as mushrooms tend to absorb water and become soggy.

Tips & Tricks

• For a twist, you can add a splash of white wine to the mushroom sauce for extra flavor.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms, to add variety to the dish.
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with vegetable broth or chicken broth.
• Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated the next day. Add a splash of cream or broth while reheating to maintain the creamy consistency.

Presentation advice
