Mushroom Ragout

My favorite way to have this mushroom ragout is with some creamy polenta, mash potatoes, or over a bed of pasta. It’s so packed with flavor because of the mushroom. It’s bursting with umami flavor and you will want to eat this completely on its own. The thing is, you totally can! Who’s stopping you?

This mushroom sauce is savory, with tomato paste, and garlic to add to the umami flavor of the mushrooms. Perfect recipe for a weeknight, when you have just a few minutes to whip something up. Especially now that the holidays are right around the corner. This is a great recipe to have in your arsenal, because it cooks up in just a couple minutes and you can make some instant mash potatoes, pasta, or instant polenta to get those tummies full quickly.
