With button mushrooms and our famous Marry Me sauce, these Marry Me Mushrooms make the perfect quick and cozy dinner. Serve it with bread or over pasta!
Servings: 4 serving
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 28 g
- ½ tsp each salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 16 oz button mushrooms 453 g
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes 283 g
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth 236 mL
- 1 cup heavy cream 236 mL
- ½ cup grated parmesan 40 g
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil
Instructions
- Flavor Base: Heat 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, ½ tsp each salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat until butter is melted, about 1 minute.
- Fillings: Add 16 oz button mushrooms, 10 oz cherry tomatoes, 4 cloves garlic, and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until mushrooms sweat out their moisture and excess liquid has evaporated, turning the tomatoes into a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
- Broth: Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth and continue cooking until sauce thickens again, about 10 minutes.
- Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup grated parmesan, and 2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil. Serve warm with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Notes
For a vegan option, use dairy-free cream (like full-fat canned coconut milk or an unflavored dairy-free creamer), vegan butter, and vegan parmesan cheese.
Storage: If you have any leftovers (unlikely), these mushrooms will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. To reheat, heat it in the microwave in 30-second bursts or heat it on the stovetop with a little bit of broth to rehydrate it.
Can I use a different kind of mushroom? Button mushrooms are the ideal texture and size but you can use a few other kinds. I would recommend using a cremini mushroom or a portobello mushroom dice smaller.
What will happen if I don’t let the mushrooms cook long enough? If the mushrooms don’t release their liquid and reabsorb the broth, the Marry Me sauce will be watery. If this happens, let it simmer gently on the stove, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened.
