Oh my gosh, I modified this to where most would find it not the same recipe. First I changed out the olive oil for real butter (7 restaurant/food service patties) melted, next I tossed in to the simmering butter a pound of white mushroom slices (fresh), allowed those two top marry well, dusted the buttered mushrooms with about 1.5tbs of AP flour. Stirring well so that nothing burned. Finally I added in approximately 1.5cups of marsala cooking wine to deglaze the pan. Once the sauce thickened it was time to eat and wow oh wow that really was both simple but incredibly tasty.

I think this recipe would benefit from using butter rather than olive oil. Adjust the heat accordingly and you'll get a much better flavor finish.

This is a wonderful sauce and as usual, you must use a good quality Marsala. I used half unsalted butter and half olive oil for the oil part of the recipe. I used portabella mushrooms and sautéed them first in unsalted butter and added them after I sautéed the onion and prosciutto that I added. I added a little more Marsala and thickened the sauce up a bit due to extra Marsala by using a little cornstarch mixed with a little Marsala. I served this with Buitoni's chicken Marsala raviolis and zucchini in garlic butter. Wonderful dinner!

Flavor was great. I used shallots for the onions. Sauce was a bit thin. I will add more flour next time Also would recommend a different type pan. Had to transfer it to a frying pan to sauté the mushrooms Will make again

Grab some double thick pork loin chops, sear, bake and while resting... whip up this sauce in the same pan... Sweet Marsala is our preference... strong beefy broth (double up on the Better that Boullion). Don't go heavy on the salt... always a winner!
