- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Salt divided
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Add reserved cooking liquid, buttermilk, 3/4 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth.
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes, without stirring. Then, cook until liquid almost evaporates (about 4 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and basil.
