INGREDIENTS
- I use button mushrooms, but any mushrooms of choice can be used. In the thermal method I do not use the mixer to chop the mushroom as I prefer them sliced in the sauce.
- Cream can be replaced with coconut cream or stock/bone broth if preferred.
- Parmesan can be swapped for any cheese or for a cheese free sauce add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.
- Any herbs of choice can be used.
