An incredible cheesy garlic tomato sauce with mushrooms that's Slimming World friendly and inspired by an Italian restaurant.
You know when you order something in a restaurant and you're disappointed to find it's not what you were expecting? Well, that happened to us when we dined al fresco style over the last bank holiday weekend.
Don't get me wrong, the garlic mushrooms side was truly delicious, but it wasn't the classic finger food side we were craving to go with our burgers.
And I've told you before, I get my inspiration from absolutely everywhere. In fact, I'm probably always thinking of food connections and this idea really was worth adapting and sharing. It can be eaten as a starter, side in cute little ramekin dishes, or as an intensely delicious pasta sauce.
