Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) wide egg noodles or pasta of choice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

16 oz (450g) mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream or cashew cream for a vegan option

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free version

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.

    Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.

      Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, thyme, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes. If you prefer a thicker stroganoff, mix the cornstarch in a little cold water until dissolved, then stir it into the sauce and let simmer for another 1-2 minutes until thickened.

          Bring Creaminess: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it gently simmer for another 3-4 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent boiling. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy mushroom stroganoff with a sprinkle of black pepper if desired!
