Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and shallot in melted butter until mushrooms are lightly browned and soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set it aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer cooled mushroom mixture to a blender; add pine nuts, olive oil, vegetable broth, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse the blender a few times until mixture is finely ground, scraping down the sides of the pitcher with a spatula as needed; scrape into a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Stir Parmesan cheese through blended mixture until incorporated.
