Notes

  • This recipe requires a slow cooker, which allows the flavors to meld and the mushrooms to become tender and flavorful.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more salt, pepper, or even herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional flavor.
  • The creamy Tuscan mushrooms can be served as a side dish, a topping for pasta, or even as a vegetarian main course.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving. The sauce may thicken upon refrigeration, but you can thin it out with a splash of cream or broth if desired.
  • If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, you can modify this recipe by using alternative ingredients. For example, you can use a dairy-free substitute for heavy cream or omit the Parmesan cheese for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Remember to garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. It adds a pop of freshness and visual appeal.
