Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 8 oz. uncooked penne pasta
Stroganoff Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 16 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 Tbsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce
- ½ Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup sour cream
- Flat leaf parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they become tender and release their moisture.
- Season and Thicken: Add minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir well to combine. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and stir continuously until the flour is fully incorporated and no dry flour remains.
- Add Liquids: Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, then stir in vegan Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Finish the Sauce and Combine: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth. Toss the cooked penne pasta with the sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the stroganoff to serving plates. Garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley and shaved Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm immediately.
