What You'll Need

3 Tablespoons butter

1 Tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)

1 teaspoon each of dry marjoram, oregano, and basil (or substitute your favorite Italian seasoning blend)

1 pound white or crimini mushrooms (or baby portabello), washed and ends trimmed off (left whole)

¼ cup dry white wine

½ cup cream

1 ounce cream cheese

1 Tablespoon tomato paste

½ cup packed fresh spinach

¼ cup parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste

How to Make Butter Mushrooms

First, you will preheat your cast iron skillet (or other heavy skillet) on low-medium heat. Then you will add butter to the pan and let it melt

Next, the garlic and herbs will be added and cooked 2 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring often.

Add whole mushrooms and wine, stir, cover, and cook 5 minutes.

Uncover and cook until wine reduces a bit (about 2 minutes).

Add cream cheese and tomato paste and cover for 2 minutes to melt. Uncover and mix in cream cheese and tomato paste.

Add cream and stir in, cooking 2 minutes to thicken (don't boil or overheat).

Turn heat off, and add spinach, parmesan, and salt. Stir together and let sit for about 5 minutes for spinach to wilt and parmesan to melt.

Serve right away while still good and hot.

Tips for the best Tuscan Mushrooms

If you use fresh herbs instead of the dry, you will use more. 1 teaspoon of dry herbs equals about ¼ cup packed fresh herbs.

You can use frozen spinach in this recipe, but thaw out first and drain. Make sure most of the liquid is drained out of the spinach, and be sure to chop before adding to your sauce mixture.

Note: Keep in mind that fresh spinach is definitely best here.
