This flavor-packed sauce deserves a sauce to soak up all the flavors. So, although the dish can be served just as is thanks to all the delicious veggies, it takes the meal to the next level when it’s served with a proper side dish.

So, how should I serve Tuscan Style portobello mushrooms?

Well, I’m glad you asked. There are several delicious side dish options, but I’m going to name my favorites:

For the ultimate Italian dinner, serve with a side of creamy vegan polenta – you can find my favorite vegan polenta recipe here
For a cozy, comforting meal, serve with creamy fluffy mashed potatoes
If you crave a delicious Asian twist, serve with ramen noodles or rice noodles
To get your pasta cravings satisfied you can serve with a delicious pappardelle cooked Al dente…or any other type of broad pasta that can soak up as much sauce as possible.

Do I have to use red, yellow, and orange peppers?

Not unless you want to. This recipe is loaded up on peppers and I personally like the different spices and sweetness each type of pepper brings to the dish. Plus, I adore the vibrant colors. But you can just as easily stick with using only one color peppers as you prefer. It won’t make or break the dish to make small changes to the recipe.
