Mushrooms are one of my favourite foods and this recipe is an amazing way to enjoy them! This dish is so easy to make, it uses whole mushrooms, so no slicing, and they are just quickly cooked before making the tasty sauce! The sauce is pretty simple with a base of cream seasoned with parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, which are just packed with flavour, not to mention the Italian seasoning! Baby spinach and fresh parsley finish off the dish. I like to add a hit of white miso paste for its umami and salty flavour along with a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. These creamy Tuscan mushrooms take very little time to make so they are great as a side for pretty much any meal!
This dish works great as a side, served over a protein (like chicken), or as a meal!

Hi! I found you through Pinterest.. So many homey comfort food dishes! Great.
I love cooking with mushrooms and the combo here with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes so good. But the white miso paste / umami idea is great! Thank you!
Hi Kevin. I tried this recipe as a side dish with dinner last night and it was excellent! Easy to make and just delicious. I knew that I had to try it, because it had all of our favorites – mushrooms, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
As you mentioned in your post, I think this would also be great over chicken. I think I’ll try that soon. And, I was just thinking it would make a great pasta dish as well. I think I’ll try making it and just throwing some cooked pasta in the pan at the end (I’ll reserve a little pasta water if it needs some thinning out).
Thanks, as usual, for another delicious recipe! I love all of your recipes (as does my lucky husband)!
This with added shrimp…I think I died and went to heaven!
Made this today to use for supper tonight. It is very good . TY!
