Heat the Olive Oil: In a large saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Cook the Sausage and Mushrooms: Add the crumbled Italian sausage and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the mushrooms are tender, approximately 5 minutes.
