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.
