Ingredients

  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 14 cup cooking sherry
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 12 large onion, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup parmesan-romano cheese mix
  • 18 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 14 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) carton sliced mushrooms
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled

Method

  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • While the butter is melting, place the onion and garlic into a food processor (I use a mini chopper) and process until finely minced.
  • Add to the pan, along with the mushrooms.
  • Saute until onion is clear and mushrooms are starting to get soft, then sprinkle the flour over the mixture.
  • Stir into a paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Slowly add the cream, stirring after each addition until smooth.
  • Stir in the sherry, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Gradually fold in the cheese and stir until it is melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  • Serve immediately over hot pasta.
