Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in onion, mushrooms, garlic, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook until onions are slightly brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pour wine into skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid has nearly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
