How to Make It
Step 1
Start by slicing Italian sausage (your choice of mild or hot) into round pieces the size of meatballs. Add the pieces to a skillet and drizzle the olive oil in. Set the skillet over your stove on high heat. Cook the pieces of sausage until they’re browned on all sides and mostly cooked through. You can adjust the heat as needed.
Step 2
Transfer the cooked sausage aside, but leave any juices remaining in the skillet. Return the skillet to your stove and slice cremini or brown mushrooms. Melt the butter in your skillet over low heat, then add the mushrooms. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook the mushrooms down in the butter until they’re tender.
Step 3
Return your sausage to the skillet, and pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir the ingredients together and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the liquids simmer and bubble until they cook down into a reduced, creamy sauce. It will reduce quite a bit before it’s ready for serving.
