Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter for about 1 minute. Sprinkle in salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Add 16 ounces of sliced button mushrooms to the pan and toss them gently until they’re coated in the buttery spice mixture. Next, add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 3 minced garlic cloves, and ½ cup of sun-dried tomatoes. Cook uncovered for approximately 15 minutes.
Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Remove the sauté pan from heat and stir in ½ cup of heavy cream until fully incorporated. Then, mix in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Fold in ¼ cup of fresh chopped basil and serve warm over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
