Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the top of a whole head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.
While the garlic roasts, clean and slice the mushrooms. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and tender.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot, stir well, and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley before serving.
