These Creamy Garlic Mushrooms are an absolutely delicious restaurant style side dish that everyone loves!
Creamy Garlic Mushrooms Are Delicious!
These creamy garlic mushrooms taste restaurant quality but are made at home.
This delicious side dish was inspired one of my favorite dinners: Creamy Mushroom Pasta.
Juicy whole baby bella mushrooms are cooked with fresh minced garlic and coated in a homemade thick parmesan cream sauce. The sauce is so flavorful that we scraped up every last bit off of the pan!
You can make this a meal by adding a protein and pasta, or serve it as a side dish that pairs well with any savory meal.

I’m pretty terrible at cooking, but I made something decent (though quite thick), thanks for the recipe I’m gonna keep attempting to perfect my methods because it seems solid enough for me to learn off.
This recipe is very yummy! A few tweaks – cook the garlic little bit with the mushrooms before adding all the cream. I would also add more mushrooms than the recipe calls for to make the sauce/mushroom ratio a little better. But still delish! Will definitely be making again
Delicious and very simple recipe!!
Can you freeze this?
I would not with the dairy content
This recipe tastes better than the best Italian restaurant creamy garlic mushroom I’ve tasted. It is so easy to make too. I didn’t have onion power so I chopped one onion up very finely and fried with butter and olive oil for around 10 minutes before adding to the recipe as per the powder. I used Tesco’s Creamfields soft cheese (49p) for the cream cheese. (correction from previous comment).
I tripled the recipe added spinach and bow tie noodles….absolutely delicious!!
Great idea! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Hi, how would you suggest reheating these? As cream can sometimes separate. Would you recommend microwave or hob?
I would think the microwave would work!
This was absolutely delicious and loved by the whole family. So yummy!
So glad your family enjoyed the recipe Rachel!
I’m going to make ut tomorrow and I will triple the recipe it’s going to be wonderful I’m sure thanks for the recipe.
I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving. They were a huge hit! So delicious and easy to make.
