- 8 oz mushrooms – Mushrooms are what gives this recipe extra flavor and texture. Similarly to pork chops, mushrooms are low-carb and have many health benefits. Mushrooms are high in fiber which is going to help keep you full for a longer period of time.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – Garlic is such a quick, easy, and affordable way to add tons of flavor to any recipe. If you do not have fresh garlic cloves, you can use preminced garlic.
½ cup heavy cream – Heavy cream makes the gravy for this recipe extra creamy. Heavy cream is high in fat and low-carb which is why it fits into a keto diet.
½ cup parmesan cheese – Similarly to heavy cream, parmesan cheese is also going to add a creamy texture and taste to the gravy. Parmesan cheese is delicious, low-carb, and high in fat. - 1 teaspoon dry oregano – Oregano is an Italian spice is a punget and peppery herb that easily adds a bold flavor. It’s a pantry staple that is worth adding.
- Red pepper flakes to taste – Just like oregano, red pepper flakes are a pantry staple that adds extra taste. Red peppers have a hint of fruitiness to offset the chili taste. Red pepper flakes pair very well with oregano!
- 3 cups spinach, chopped – Spinach is packed with vitamins, minerals, and adds so much to this recipe. You’re going to need 3 large cups of spinach because spinach cooks down to a much smaller size. Chopped spinach works best for this recipe so that the spinach can fully cook down.
