Ingredients
  

  • 340 oz wide pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 450 oz mixed mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • to garnish fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the Mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
  • Season: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and let the spices marry with the mushrooms for another minute.
  • Make the Flour Mixture: Add the flour to the mushroom mixture and stir to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to toast slightly.
  • Deglaze: Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3 minutes.
  • Create the Creamy Sauce: Once thickened, lower the heat and stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast (if using). Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the mushroom sauce, gently tossing until the pasta is well-coated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve: Ladle the stroganoff into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Optional nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor.
