Serve warm.

It’s the perfect light side, that will make you forget you’re eating light! Serve it with meat and make a hearty meal out of a simple side dish. My family loves it, and we eat it often! Even the kids eat it without complaining, and that’s saying a lot! Vegetables don’t have to be covered in cheese sauce to taste good. You’re gonna love this!

    Nice combination! I love this idea. I saute asparagus in lemon, butter, and salt all the time, and the mushrooms would be a perfect addition. Love the contrast of textures and flavors.

    This recipe is perfect for my Keto diet. Will have to give it a try. I’ve actually been trying to get more into mushrooms. Slowly but surely.
