Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cremini mushrooms dried with a paper towel and thickly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chicken broth or stick or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk or any milk
  • kosher salt to taste
  • kosher pepper to taste
  • ½ cup mozzarella shredded or grated
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • 1 teaspoon thyme freshly chopped

Instructions

  • First, heat the oil in a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the stock and cornstarch.
  • Next, add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, then stir and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes more. You might have too cook them in batches, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Once all mushrooms are slightly tender and golden, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, for 1 minute. 
  • Then, add the stock-starch mixture together with the almond milk and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir until sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Finally, add in the shredded cheeses. Continue to cook until cheese is fully melted, then stir in the herbs and take off the heat.

Notes

  • Serving size about 1/2 cup 
  • Vegan: To make this vegan, use vegan Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Substitute: If you don't have cornstarch, then you can substitute it with arrowroot or tapioca flour.
  • Mushrooms: We used whole cremini mushrooms, but any type of mushroom can work for this recipe.
  • Garlic: If you don't have fresh garlic or thyme and need to work with what you have, then garlic and thyme powder will be fine.
  • Gluten-free: Serve this recipe with gluten-free noodles such as konjac, vegetable, or palming noodles.
