Best Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff (Quick + Easy) - The Simple Veganista

Pasta: Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

Stroganoff: Heat the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat, add onion and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms, cook another 5 minutes, or until mushrooms begin to sweat down a bit. Add the flour, stirring to fully incorporate so there are no white streaks, cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine and broth, bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to medium, cook another 5 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir in the sour cream and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble: Add the pasta to the mushroom sauce, toss to combine. Add in a little pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Alternatively, add pasta to individual bowls and spoon the creamy sauce overtop.

Serves 4 – 6

Store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 – 6 days. Freeze for up to 2 – 3 months. Let thaw before reheating.

NOTES
Useful Tips

Make it herby. Add in ½ each teaspoon dried thyme and/or sage.
Add umami flavor. If you have vegan worcestershire on hand, add in 2 – 3 teaspoons with the broth for added depth of flavor.
Adjust the mushroom amount to taste. I like a lot of mushrooms for heartiness and used almost 2 lbs., feel free to use only 1 lb.
Add protein. Toss in 1 cup or so of frozen peas at the end of cooking. Or add them to the pasta, in the last 4 minutes or so, while cooking. Or simply steam separately and toss them in last.

Dietary Restrictions

Oil-Free – To make mushroom stroganoff oil-free, in place of vegan butter or oil, use a water saute. Use ¼ cup water or vegetable broth when sauteing the onions and mushrooms, adding more as needed. Skip the flour and use ¾ cup vegan sour cream.
Gluten-Free – Use oat flour and use gluten-free pasta, or serve over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes.
Nut-Free – Use 3 – 4 tablespoons tahini or store bought nut-free Tofutti Sour Cream. You can also make a roux, adding 5 tablespoons of flour, instead of 2, to thicken the sauce without adding sour cream.
Alcohol-free – Sub the wine with vegetable broth.
