Let’s Make it Together

Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent—about 3-4 minutes.

Add the Mushrooms: Toss in sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices—about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Create the Sauce: Pour in vegetable broth and add Dijon mustard while scraping up any tasty bits stuck to the pan—let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.

Incorporate Creaminess: Stir in sour cream off heat until smooth and creamy. Ensure everything is well combined and looking luxurious.

Toss with Pasta: Add cooked pasta directly into your sauce mixture. Gently toss until each noodle is coated beautifully—this step should take about 2 minutes.

Garnish and Serve!: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor before serving hot—trust me; it’s like confetti on your plate!

With these simple steps, you’ll have a hearty mushroom stroganoff ready to devour in no time! Enjoy every spoonful as flavors dance together in perfect harmony.
