Now that you know how to make creamy marry me mushrooms, let’s dive into some helpful tips and variations to customize this dish to your liking.
What kind of mushrooms should I use? Use any kind of mushroom you prefer for this recipe! I love the look of some sliced in half and some left whole. You are welcome to slice all of your mushrooms if you prefer.
Do I have to use basil? I love the added flavor of the basil, but feel free to use fresh chopped spinach if you prefer! Basil brightens the flavors and colors of this dish!
Can I use vegetable broth? Use vegetable broth if you prefer not to use chicken broth. Either one will work great! Add a splash of broth if needed to thin the creamy sauce to your liking.
Can you handle the heat? I added a small amount of red pepper flakes to the sauce, but you can add more and garnish with extra if you really love the flavor and heat! I always add more if my kids aren’t eating it.
