Recipe View Combine and Serve: Stir the sautéed mushrooms into the Alfredo sauce. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add a splash of dry white wine to the mushroom mixture while sautéing for extra depth.
Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your liking.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Ensure the cream cheese is properly softened to avoid lumps in the sauce.
