Ingredients
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
For the Stroganoff Base:
- 12 oz (340 g) button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 ½ cups sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pasta:
- 12 oz (340 g) egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional Toppings:
- Grated Parmesan or vegan Parmesan
- Crunchy breadcrumbs for extra texture
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, stirring until they become fragrant and slightly translucent. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they're golden brown and their moisture has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Build the Sauce
Once the mushrooms are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and smoked paprika. Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer for 3-5 minutes to blend the flavors. Gradually add the sour cream, stirring until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Mix everything together, ensuring every noodle is coated with that luscious stroganoff sauce.
5. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the stroganoff into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle grated Parmesan or breadcrumbs evenly on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Plate it up and get ready to dig in!
Tips for the Best Mushroom Stroganoff Bake:
- Choose your mushrooms wisely: Cremini mushrooms add a deeper, earthier flavor, but you can mix in shiitake or portobello for extra depth.
- Make it vegan: Swap sour cream for cashew cream or coconut cream, and use your favorite plant-based Parmesan.
- Boost the crunch: Sprinkle crispy fried onions or seasoned breadcrumbs on top for a delightful texture contrast.
- Add protein: For an added twist, stir in cooked lentils, tofu, or shredded rotisserie chicken for a more filling meal.
