Creamy Mushroom Scaloppine – Delicious Italian Recipe

Creamy mushroom scaloppine is a delightful Italian recipe perfect for any dinner. Learn how to make this flavorful dish with step-by-step instructions.

Introduction

Creamy mushroom scaloppine is a delicious variation of the classic Italian dish, combining tender veal with a rich and velvety mushroom sauce. The addition of cream elevates the dish, keeping the meat juicy while the mushrooms, in two textures, release their full flavor in every bite. We chose a mix of porcini, chanterelles, button, and portobello mushrooms to celebrate seasonal ingredients, but feel free to substitute with what you have on hand!

Serve creamy mushroom scaloppine with a simple side dish like mashed potatoes, soft polenta, or sautéed vegetables to complete a wholesome and irresistible meal.
