Creamy mushroom sauce, this delicious mushroom sauce is perfect with cheese, potatoes, vegetables, pasta or just to eat with a piece of bread on the side, it’s that good! I’ll tell you how easy it is to make.

Homemade mushroom sauce

This is a classic recipe for creamy mushroom sauce with some simple ingredients. I use my favorite mushrooms, heavy cream, fresh herbs, vegetable broth and some salt and black pepper. I think it is an ideal sauce for a festive meal, but it is also perfect to make yourself and eat with a tasty pasta or some meat, vegetables and crispy potatoes.

Make your own creamy mushroom sauce

Sure, it’s ideal that you can buy basic sauces like a mushroom cream sauce ready-made, but once you find out how delicious and easy this homemade version is, you won’t want anything else. I promise you that!

I use butter and flour for a nice thick and creamy sauce, just like you use a roux to thicken a sauce, and some heavy cream. Of course, you can add cognac or wine to the sauce between steps 1 and 2, but this recipe is naturally alcohol-free.

Mushrooms

Easy mushroom sauce recipe

This is my version of a creamy mushroom sauce recipe, but as you may already know, there are many variations. For example, I use fresh mushrooms such as cantharelles, shiitake, chestnut mushrooms and oyster mushrooms with a mushroom or vegetable stock to get that lovely mushroom flavor. You can use whatever mushrooms or stock you prefer. Let’s get cooking!
