With meaty mushrooms and our famous Marry Me sauce, these Marry Me Mushrooms make the perfect quick and cozy dinner. The dish comes together in 30 minutes in one pan. Join thousands of readers who’ve made and loved our Marry Me recipes by adding this version to your must-make list!

After this, try the infamous Marry Me Chickpeas and Marry Me Butter Beans! Pairs well with a big heap or Air Fryer Vegetables.

I make a lot of quick vegetarian dinners, but this one always hits differently.

The mushrooms absorb every bit of flavor, the sun-dried tomatoes add deep umami, and the creamy finish makes it feel special without requiring more effort.

As a nutritionist and food scientist, I’ve tested plenty of mushroom sautés, and reducing the tomatoes and mushrooms until they’re jammy is the trick. It becomes this lush, spoon-coating sauce that tastes like it simmered all day.

Grab these ingredients

These vegetarian mushrooms with a Tuscan sauce use all the same staple ingredients as my other Marry Me recipes. But with button mushrooms! Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements, this is just an overview!

Butter: Butter will help bloom our spices and saute the mushrooms. Grab some unsalted butter or margarine for a vegan version.
Garlic: Fresh garlic is a must for any dish that makes people want to marry you!
Seasonings: Salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper come together for a flavor explosion!
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Sundried tomatoes add a sweetness that only the war sun of Italy (or California) could bring!
Broth: You will need vegetable broth, either homemade vegetable broth or store-bought from a carton or cube.
Button Mushrooms: Grab 16 ounces of button mushrooms to make the base of this dish. Button mushrooms are the most neutral in flavor and offer a creamy texture.
Cherry Tomatoes: Even though there are sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes offer brightness to the dish. They also help the sauce thicken when cooked with the mushrooms.
The Creamy Good Stuff: I use heavy cream for this dish, but you can use canned coconut milk or vegan heavy cream as dairy-free options.
Parmesan: This brings a salty and umami flavor with a little bit of that cheesy goodness every Italian dish is known for. You can use a vegan parmesan if needed.
Basil: Finally, the photo finish of a handful of torn fresh basil! Fresh basil is a must for the best flavor.

Which type of mushroom is best?

We’re using button mushrooms here to make this dish accessible to pretty much everyone! If you’re feeling fancy, you could throw in a different type of mushroom, like shiitake, sliced portobello, or oyster.

Sarah’s Tip

Mushrooms make a great base for many vegetarian dishes, but you need to let the mushrooms “sweat.” Sweating the mushrooms is a term used to describe the mushrooms releasing their water when cooked. Once they release this water, they then reabsorb the other liquids in the dish, taking on those flavors, and become a bit crispy!
