These Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Mushrooms are rich, velvety, and packed with flavor — sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan in a luscious cream sauce, they make the perfect comforting meal or irresistible side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely diced

  • 21 oz (600 g) cremini mushrooms, washed and dried

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth

  • 5 oz (150 g) sun-dried tomato strips in oil (reserve 1 tablespoon oil)

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves, washed

  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, mixed with 1 tablespoon water)

  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or dried)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.

  2. Sauté the chopped onion until transparent, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.

  3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes along with 1 tablespoon of their oil and cook for about 2 minutes.

  4. Add the mushrooms, stirring to coat in the tomato flavors, and cook for about 5 minutes.

  5. (Optional) Pour in the white wine or chicken broth and allow to reduce by half, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  6. Reduce the heat to low-medium, add the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. Add the spinach leaves and allow them to wilt into the sauce.

  8. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt fully into the creamy mixture.

  9. (Optional) For a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch-water mixture and stir until thickened.

  10. Mix in the dried Italian herbs and garnish with chopped parsley.

  11. Serve hot over mashed cauliflower, zucchini noodles, pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

  • Substitute the white wine with extra broth for an alcohol-free version.

  • Use a mix of cremini and button mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.

  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.

  • For a dairy-free version, swap heavy cream with coconut cream and omit Parmesan.
