Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely diced
- 21 ounces mushrooms washed and dried with paper towel
- 1 onion small, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine optional
- 5 oz sun dried tomato strips jarred in oil, reserve 1 tablespoon of the jarred oil for cooking
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream SEE NOTES
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves washed
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese fresh grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional – mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water for a thicker sauce.
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and sauté onion until transparent; add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about one minute). Cook the sun dried tomatoes and oil in with the butter for about 2 minutes to release all of their flavours. Cook mushrooms in the tomato flavours for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine or broth (if using), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan. (SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU WISH.)
- Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add in the spinach leaves; allow to wilt in the sauce, then add in the parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce. (For a thicker sauce, add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the centre of the pan, and continue to simmer while quickly stirring the mixture through until the sauce thickens.)
- Mix in the herbs and garnish with parsley.
- Serve over mashed cauliflower, zucchini noodles or steamed veg. Alternatively, serve over pasta, mashed potatoes or rice.

It was easy and very nice! Even my meat-lover son live this. I just add some vegetable stock (wine as well) have more liquid.
My husband can’t cook so I was searching for some easy recipe for his cooking. I and I found this.
I am looking forward to see more easy and tasty meat free recipes.
Thank you!
Recipe is delicious! I didn’t have sun-dried tomatoes but it still turned out amazing; I’m saving this one!
I also was googling your recipe a few days later for leftovers ideas, and just so you’re aware, TasteDis channel on youtube stole your recipe line by line (posted June ’22).
Loved this recipe! Recently, I developed a sudden severe allergy to tomatoes, so instead of sun dried tomato, I substituted with a jar of roasted red peppers, & a couple tablespoons of an imitation tomato paste I made. It came out wonderfully!
