Ingredients
Mushrooms: Firm white button or brown cremini mushrooms work the best for this recipe. Onion and garlic: Enhances the flavor of the dish and makes it addictive.

Seasoning: Pizsa seasoning, pepper flakes, pepper powder, and salt as needed. Fresh herb: For garnish See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Step-by-step instructions
You can put them in a colander and wash and drain them immediately. Use a damp paper towel to remove any dirt if you still find any after a quick wash. Now chop the mushrooms lengthwise. Add olive oil and garlic cloves in a non-stick pan and saute in medium flame until garlic becomes light golden in color. Do this on medium to medium-low flame. This step gives unique flavor when done right. Now add the onion and a pinch of salt, and saute till the onion becomes translucent. Next, add the chopped mushrooms and saute for 4 to 6 minutes till they are cooked and develop some color. Add seasoning, pepper flakes, cream, salt, and pepper powder, and bring this to a nice boil and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, add the grated parmesan cheese and mix. Garnish it with cilantro or parsley if desired.
Tips
Skip the pizza seasoning and pepper flakes if you want to keep the recipe simple. You can use 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, thyme or oregano.
