Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider adding fresh parsley during the last 5 minutes of cooking. You can substitute any variety of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, if desired. For a bit of acidity, a splash of lemon juice before serving can brighten the dish. If you prefer a milder garlic taste, use roasted garlic instead of fresh.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these mushrooms warm as a side dish to grilled meats or alongside a fresh Italian Bruschetta. They also make a great topping for crostini or as a filling for stuffed pasta. Pair with a crisp salad or serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious flavors.

Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of olive oil if they seem dry. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
