Ingredients & Variations
The recipe here will produce a smooth and almost silk-like consistency.
BROTH Chicken broth is the perfect subtle flavor for this recipe but it can easily be replaced with vegetable broth for a similar flavor or beef broth for a richer flavor.
CREAM Heavy cream, half-and-half, light cream, or milk can all be used in this recipe. But keep in mind, the lighter the cream the thinner and less creamy the sauce will be!
WINE For a deeper flavor, sub out the white wine for red and if there’s no wine at all, feel free to use some extra broth.
MUSHROOMS Experiment with different mushrooms like diced portobello or sliced shiitake or oyster mushroom!
