Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter
1 lb mixed fresh mushrooms (such as cremini, button , oyster , and portobello), quartered
1 shallot, chopped
1 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable broth
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

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