Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) wide egg noodles

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 cup vegetable broth

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 cup sour cream (or vegan alternative)

2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add the Mushrooms: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

        Season: Stir in the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another minute to enhance the flavors.

          Create the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Slowly add the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

            Mix in the Cream: Lower the heat and whisk in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

              Combine: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.

                Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy your creamy mushroom stroganoff!
