After this, try the infamous Marry Me Chickpeas and Marry Me Butter Beans! Pairs well with a big heap or Air Fryer Vegetables. Marry Me sauce is wonderful because it can be implemented in so many ways. The traditional way is with chicken, but we’re all about vegetarian recipes around here. For this version, I wanted to use a staple vegetarian ingredient: mushrooms. So, without further ado, let’s cook!
Add it to your rotation
One pot is all you need to make this complete meal. Vegetarian staple ingredients like mushrooms and cream come together to make this delicious dinner! Plus, mushrooms are faster and cheaper than the standard chicken you might find in this dish elsewhere. It’s easy to make this recipe because there are no babysitting ingredients or special cooking techniques.
Grab these ingredients
These vegetarian mushrooms with a Tuscan sauce use all the same staple ingredients as my other Marry Me recipes. But with button mushrooms! Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements, this is just an overview!
Butter: Butter will help bloom our spices and saute the mushrooms. Grab some unsalted butter or margarine for a vegan version. Garlic: Fresh garlic is a must for any dish that makes people want to marry you! Seasonings: Salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper come together for a flavor explosion! Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Sundried tomatoes add a sweetness that only the war sun of Italy (or California) could bring! Broth: You will need vegetable broth, either homemade vegetable broth or store-bought from a carton or cube. Button Mushrooms: Grab 16 ounces of button mushrooms to make the base of this dish. Button mushrooms are the most neutral in flavor and offer a creamy texture. Cherry Tomatoes: Even though there are sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes offer brightness to the dish. They also help the sauce thicken when cooked with the mushrooms. The Creamy Good Stuff: I use heavy cream for this dish, but you can use canned coconut milk or vegan heavy cream as dairy-free options. Parmesan: This brings a salty and umami flavor with a little bit of that cheesy goodness every Italian dish is known for. You can use a vegan parmesan if needed. Basil: Finally, the photo finish of a handful of torn fresh basil! Fresh basil is a must for the best flavor.

serving suggestions
This recipe is a delicious main course with a bit of toasty bread. Here’s what else I’d recommend serving with it to make it a complete meal.
Olive Oil Dip for Bread or Basil Oil: This, paired with a delicious loaf of French bread, is the perfect side dish to Marry Me mushrooms. Truffle Pizza: Enjoy this as an appetizer. And if you aren’t sure about pizza as an app, hear me out; it’s crispy, handheld, and cheesy – that checks all the boxes! Crispy Sauteed Eggplant: Enjoy this as a nice contrast to the creamy mushrooms.
