Cook and stir mushrooms and shallot in melted butter until mushrooms are lightly browned and soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set it aside to cool for 10 minutes. Transfer cooled mushroom mixture to a blender; add pine nuts, olive oil, vegetable broth, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse the blender a few times until mixture is finely ground, scraping down the sides of the pitcher with a spatula as needed; scrape into a mixing bowl. Stir Parmesan cheese through blended mixture until incorporated. Cook's Note: Adding Parmesan to a food processor can cause the cheese to melt and become stringy.
