Healthy Mushroom Sauce

We have this on pretty much anything we can think of. Smothered over steak, beef burgers, chicken burgers, pita pockets, baked potato, grilled chicken or stirred through pasta.

You can even pour it over some whole wheat toast for breakfast, it’s that good.

Easy Creamy Mushroom Sauce

This is a Clean eating mushroom sauce, so it’s simply Real food and nothing else. And being Real it uses cream, yep, real cream and so as you’d imagine, the sauce itself is very creamy. Seriously creamy. It’s the sort of sauce you could eat as soup :)

If you read my site at all you’ll know I’m a fan of easy. Easy’s good and this sauce takes no time at all to put together, and seems to have the ability to turn anything into something pretty special.

What To Eat With Mushroom Sauce

This is a very versatile mushroom sauce and goes well with so many dishes. Being a mushroom lover, I find it hard to overdo Mushrooms and one thing I love: this sauce over whole baked…mushrooms. Sometime I’ll add some blue cheese to it (or cheddar if blue sends the kids over the edge!), throw a few bread crumbs on top and stick the whole thing in the oven for 5 minutes.

So you’ve got pasta dishes, chicken & steak (lamb, not so much!) vegetables…it’s an endless list.

Healthy Creamy Mushroom Sauce For Pasta

Here’s one of my classic family favorites.

Boil your fettuccine in a large pot of water. Once cooked, drain and stir mushroom sauce through it. Serve with a salad and my favourite garlic bread.

Healthy Mushroom Sauce For Steak

Preheat Oven to 400F / 190’C. Slice potatoes in chunky rounds and place evenly on a baking sheet.

I use non stick paper for an easy clean up. Sprinkle with salt and a little olive oil and bake for 15 – 20 min until golden. We have a little gas Barbeque on the porch which we use two to three times a week.

We use this to grill meat so that our little house doesn’t get all smoky. Grill your steak and smother with mushroom sauce. Serve with a little salad on the side.

Healthy Mushroom Sauce For Chicken

Heat up a large fry pan. Add a little olive or coconut oil. Fry your chicken slices until lightly golden on both sides. Remove from pan and make mushroom sauce as described in recipe below. Return chicken to pan and serve. We like to serve this over mashed potato with green veggies on the side.

How To Make A Healthy Mushroom Sauce

A healthy mushroom sauce is a Real food one and this is quick, easy and has masses of taste. It uses just one pan (yay!) and takes well under 10 minutes start to finish.

Depending on yours and your families level of love for mushrooms, the mushrooms can be sliced as small as you like.

Some kids find mushrooms have a ‘slug’ like texture (one of the kids described mushrooms to me this way once) and so I used to slice the mushrooms so small they were barely detectable, but now they’re all totally sold on this sauce, the mushrooms are sliced as usual. With the exception of when it’s being poured over more mushrooms. Then the mushrooms go small again :)

How long does this sauce last?

If you don’t use all this sauce or you make ahead and need to keep it, you can keep it covered in the fridge in a Mason jar like this for up to 2 days. That’s the longest I keep this for because of the cream used in the recipe.

If you’re making a dish that needs baking and using this sauce, you can also it make ahead of time and keep the dish in the fridge until it needs to go in then oven.
