Earthy mushrooms are covered in a herby melted goat cheese sauce in this delicious and super simple dish.

It’s ready in about 20 minutes and re-heats super easily if you want to bring it to a gathering!

Is This Creamy Mushroom Sauce Healthy?

Mushrooms themselves are extremely healthy!

• Shiitake mushrooms, specifically, are high in vitamin B5 and copper, and contain many of the same amino acids as meat. They also have a similar texture to meat, making this recipe great for vegetarians!

Shiitake mushrooms also contain compounds that are being studied for their potential ability to help fight cancer, boost immunity, and support heart health.

If you decide that you do not want to use butter, you can substitute it out for 2 tbsp of olive oil.

The Health Benefits of Goat Cheese

Goat milk products contain mostly A2 casein protein, which has been shown to be less allergenic and less inflammatory than the A1 variety found in traditional cow dairy products. That is why goat’s milk is actually a great option for babies and toddlers who suffer from a milk allergy!

• A study titled “Effects of milk containing only A2 beta casein versus milk containing both A1 and A2 beta casein proteins on gastrointestinal physiology“, took 45 people with lactose intolerance and found increased inflammatory markers in their blood after feeding them milk containing A1 casein. They then took those same people and had them drink milk containing only A2 casein, and their negative digestive symptoms were significantly minimized, and the markers for intestinal inflammation improved significantly.

So instead of a sauce made with cows milk, opt for a goat cheese pasta sauce next time you make mac n’ cheese and feel the difference!

When To Serve Creamy Mushrooms In Goat Cheese Sauce

This recipe is actually a fantastic recipe to bring to the holidays and get-togethers as a side dish! It comes together quickly and it re-heats really nicely on the stovetop. And the re-heating process only takes about 5 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about taking up the host’s cooking space for too long!

Also, goat cheese mushroom pasta is a heavenly dinner, and I highly suggest it!

How To Store And Re-Heat

• Storage – Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Reheating – Reheat any leftovers in a skillet on the stove over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Make sure to occasionally stir the mixture to evenly heat it and to prevent the sauce from burning.
