Ingredients
- 8 cups mushroom cleaned
- 3 tablespoon neutral cooking oil from the sundried tomato jar or olive oil, generic cooking oil
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup sun-dried tomato strips
- 2 cups spinach fresh
Instructions
- Chop the mushrooms in half or leave them whole if they are small.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook without any oil or fat for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their water and are looking cooked and slightly nutty in color.
- Add in the 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic then sauté gently for 1 minute.
- Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan and pour the remaining tablespoon of oil and the flour into the skillet. Stir gently together.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, stirring constantly to mix with the oil and flour mixture.
- Stir in the cream and give everything a good mix.
- Add the lemon zest, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and slices of sundried tomatoes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in the spinach leaves so they can wilt in the sauce.
- Serve garnished with fresh basil (and parmesan if wanted)
