Mushroom Pasta Sauce

Made this today for the two of us.  It goes with 250 grams of spaghetti

Ingredients:

12 to 14 oz white button mushrooms.
3 table spoons dry marsala wine
2 table spoons olive oil
2 table spoons butter
2 table spoons parmesan grated fine
1 table spoon dried parsley
2 to 3 diced garlic cloves
1/2 beef bouillon cube  (vegetable bouillon is an option)
1/4 cup full cream
salt
pepper

About 50 minutes before serving...

Clean and slice the button mushrooms. Dice up about on half of them.

Begin to heat the marsala in a sauce pan and add all the mushrooms, garlic, parsley and let the mixture begin to simmer covered (always covered until the cream is added at the end).  Add olive oil.

After about 20 minutes the mushrooms will have released a lot of liquid.  Break up the bouillon and add to the simmering mixture.

About 15 minutes before serving add the butter.  Add salt and pepper to  taste.

5 minutes before serving, add cream (very low simmer at this point).

Just before serving, fold in the grated parmesan

Serve over your favorite spaghetti.
