Description
Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Mushrooms is a delicious and rich dish featuring sautéed mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect as a side or topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), cleaned and sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s nice and bubbly, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they’re golden brown and have released their moisture. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Stir everything together so the mushrooms are well coated with those lovely spices.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken up a bit.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then, fold in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for just a minute or two.
- Once everything is well combined and creamy, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a side or a topping for grilled chicken or steak.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative.
