In the saucepan of your dreams, melt that butter on MEDIUM-HIGH heat, and don’t forget the garlic for that extra flavor. YUM! #saucepan #butter #garlic
Let’s sauté that garlic for a minute, no one likes burnt garlic though so keep an eye on it! #Yummy #HealthyEating
Add your blended mixture and let’s get stirring! Keep stirring for 5 minutes and you’ll have something amazing 🤩 It should be a bubbling, frothy masterpiece! #yum #delicious #cooking! Stir it up and let it simmer a bit longer – I usually keep it going for about 10 minutes total, stirring every couple of minutes after the first 5 minutes. #YumYum #Cooking #Delish
Turn the heat off, leave the pan on the stove, and get ready to add some of your parmesan cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and that chicken! Yum! #cheese #mushrooms #chicken #cooking
Give your ingredients a good mix to make sure they’re perfectly blended together! #stirringupdeliciousness Throw the lid on that pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes! #cooking #dinner #homecooking #delicious As you let it sit for a bit, it’ll thicken up, so you can serve it to perfection!
Notes:
Take your pasta dish to the next level by sautéing mushrooms in garlic, olive oil, butter, and parsley! While your sauce is thickening, you’ll have the perfect addition to your meal. #Yum #Pasta #Delicious No measurements for this, so sadly it’s not part of the ingredients list!
