- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 cup of fresh, sliced mushrooms

Instructions
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms in the skillet until golden brown. Once browned, add Cordyceps powder and garlic. Cook for 1 minute – be careful not to burn the garlic! Add white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon until the alcohol has evaporated – about 2 minutes. Add broth, cream, and parmesan. Stir, then lower heat to a slow simmer. Stir occasionally as it simmers. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once slightly thickened, remove from stove and serve over your favorite pasta!
