Creamy Mushroom Sauce
As with so many things in cooking and in life, the key to this sauce is patience and confidence. Don't rush it and don't panic and you shouldn't have a problem.
You need:
A good few handfuls of any mushroom sliced thinly.
25g (about 1heaped tbsp) flour or cornflour
1/2 pint of milk
15g butter
olive oil
salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a pan with some olive oil to stop it from burning. Sauté the mushrooms until soft and coloured remove from the pan and set aside. Turn off the heat under the pan. Add the milk and flour and whisk. Turn the heat back on but onto a very low flame. Whisk the sauce frequently but not too vigorously and it will thicken up right before your eyes. It needs to cook for about 10 mins to cook out the flour taste. This is a basic white sauce.
A nice little variation is to bung in a tsp of mustard (english is best), it gives the sauce a certain something. Some torn basil is great too.
Once you are happy with it, return the mushrooms to the pan, allow to heat through, season to taste . Serve over freshly boiled conchigle (pasta shells) as they hold large amounts of sauce. No burnt bits, no lumps, no fuss.
Or there is this one by Anthony Worrell Thompson for White Wine and Mushroom Sauce - which is GORGEOUS!!

Canned tomatoes Tomato Paste Chicken Broth Oregano Basil Onions Celery Garlic Black Pepper Hot Sauce like Tabasco brand Parmesan Cheese 1/4 Ketchup for sweetness and to remove the metallic taste of the tinned tomatoes. For a heartier sauce, add bell peppers and some diced carrots and some browned beef, turkey or venison.

Mushrooms - a mix of wild and cultivated would be good if poss.
Onion, finely chopped.
Garlic, finely chopped
Pepper
Mushroom ketchup
Boiling water or stock, or stock cube of your choice, depending on what you are serving it with.
Either a herb that goes with what you are cooking or a good mix of herbs, fresh or dried.
Corn flour to thicken.
I love this recipe and could eat Mushroom sauce until the cows come home!!!

Mushrooms, cornflour, 1/4 teaspoon of "Lazy Garlic", milk or buttermilk. Maybe ground pepper but keep the salt cellar in the cupboard. If you want to liven it up add a little, chilli or paprika powder or maybe a lump of blue cheese. Depends what food the sauce is going with. You can tune it to match the dish.
