- 1/2 tbsp flour all-purpose
- 5 oz button mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1.5 tbsp yellow onions finely chopped
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 3/8 cup chicken broth
- 3/8 cup marsala cooking wine
- 1 oz sliced prosciutto cut into thin strips
Prepare Mushrooms: Clean and thinly slice the button mushrooms.
Chop Onions: Finely chop the yellow onions.
Slice Prosciutto: Cut the prosciutto into thin strips.
Heat the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Saute: Add the finely chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the melted butter. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth paste.
Cook Prosciutto: Add the sliced prosciutto to the pan, allowing it to cook for a minute or two, infusing its flavor into the mixture.
Pour Marsala Wine: Pour the Marsala cooking wine into the pan, stirring to combine with the mushroom mixture.
Add the Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the pan, continuing to stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Simmer: Allow the Marsala sauce to simmer over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Add Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serve: Once the Marsala sauce reaches the desired thickness, remove it from the heat. It’s now ready to be served over your favorite protein, such as chicken or veal.

• To make the sauce spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• To make the sauce lighter, use white wine instead of marsala wine.
