Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened. Remove from the pot.

Notes
*This sauce gets better the longer it cooks. Just make sure to keep it on low to medium-low heat to simmer.
*This sauce also reheats well and freezes well!
