Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions

Notes
Add fresh spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the mushroom sauté for extra flavor and color.
Use low-fat cream or half-and-half for a lighter version.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a mild kick.
Substitute mozzarella with Gruyère or Fontina for a different cheese profile.
