Mushroom Sauce with Noodles

I have a lot of friends who are good cooks. So when my friend gave me this recipe all the while raving, I knew I had to try it. And it was delicious! It reminded me of a mix between a stroganoff and a bourguignon. Mmmmm. Very easy, too! A wonderful comfort meal for a cozy day.

I used portabella caps and baby bella mushrooms. You know, whatever you've got, you use.

Oh, and I was a little skeptical of using 2 whole cups of cream in a dish that I knew I would be eating the majority of (since my husband wouldn't be eating lunch at home the next day). So I used whole milk. It worked like a charm.I also felt that it was a little tart, so I threw in some salt to taste. Yum. Broil up some asparagus with oil and salt and you've got a hearty, delicious, easy meal!

I don't know where she got the recipe, unfortunately, so for now, here is the recipe below.
