This dish is a great fit for the Chestnut mushroom. The nuttiness from the mushroom pairs deliciously with the nutty and slightly sweet Marsala wine and the richness of the chicken broth. This is takes about an hour to make and is a bit more technical, but you will be left with a dish that can be eaten as it is or mixed with pasta.

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound Chestnut mushrooms (or a mix with Shiitake and Oyster mushrooms), chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Marsala wine
2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
5 fresh basil leavse, chopped
1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsely, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oil. When almost smoking, add the onions and garlic over medium-low heat until the onions have wilted (about 8 minutes).
Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium and sauté until mushrooms are tender and all the liquid has evaporated.
Remove pan from heat and pour in Marsala wine. Return pan to stove and allow wine to evaporate, about 3-5 minutes.
Add chicken broth and simmer for 30 minutes until the sauce has reduced by half. Add heavy cream and mix well.
Take the pan off the heat and add the fresh herbs and Parmesan. Mix thoroughly.
