A simple and elegant side dish or vegetarian main, this delicious dish compliments mushrooms with a thick buttery sauce that is lifted by the freshness of lemon and parsley. The big upside of this dish is that it is one pan for reduced mess. As a side, this works well with dishes that are protein heavy or have a creamy sauce. If serving this as a main, consider pairing it with sides that are dairy and carb-based, something like a potato gratin.
