Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only an estimate and can vary based on the products.
- Use the mushrooms you like. I use baby Bella, white button mushrooms, and portobello. They all work great.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp of cornflour/cornstarch with a tablespoon of the sauce or broth. Once the cornflour is dissolved, mix it in the sauce
