Vegetarian Mushroom Stroganoff

Step 1

Sauté onion: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large skillet (or pot) over medium-high heat. Add onion, sauté until golden at the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add mushrooms: Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and mushrooms. Sauté until golden brown and any liquid is cooked off, about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Build sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in flour until vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in vegetable stock, salt and pepper, stirring vigorously to prevent clumps and scrape any brown bits off the pan.

Step 4

Cook noodles: Let mixture come to a boil, then add dried noodles. Gently stir the noodles so they're evenly covered with liquid. Cook noodles for 4 minutes. Add milk. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are al dente, about another 4 minutes. (If the pan starts to look dry, add a splash of more stock. Stir as the noodles cook, so they don't stick to the pan; but be gentle as to avoid breaking the noodles.)

Step 5

Season and serve: Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with cheese and parsley, and serve immediately.
