Prepped Pasta Sauce: Creamy Mushroom

This creamy sauce uses part sour cream and part yoghurt for a tangy and slightly lighter option. This earthy mushroom sauce is lovely on pasta or zoodles, but it’s also ideal when served on grilled steak or chicken. Keep a few packets of this sauce in the freezer and throw straight into a pot over a medium heat when you want to use it!

Serves: 4 containers of sauce (each container has enough for about 3 servings)

Container: you will need 4 airtight, freezer-safe containers

Time: approximately 20 minutes
