Ingredients
Scale
Pasta:
- 8 oz (225g) pasta (fettuccine, tagliatelle, or egg noodles)
Stroganoff Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil for vegan option)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 12 oz (340g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or portobello)
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian option)
- ½ cup sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)
- Salt & black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
- ½ cup heavy cream (for an extra rich sauce)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (for added depth)
- ½ cup peas or spinach (for extra nutrients)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta – Boil salted water and cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté the Mushrooms – Heat butter or oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Aromatics – In the same pan, add more butter if needed. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Make the Sauce – Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer & Thicken – Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens. Add the cooked mushrooms back into the pan.
- Stir in Sour Cream – Remove the pan from heat and mix in sour cream. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Combine & Serve – Toss the pasta into the sauce until fully coated. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize this dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based butter, sour cream, and cream alternatives.
