Ingredients
  

2 cups of cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of vegetable broth

1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari

2 teaspoons of dried thyme

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

1 cup of coconut cream or other unsweetened plant-based cream

1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast

Salt and pepper to taste

10 oz of your choice of pasta (whole grain or gluten-free)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing your mushrooms, finely chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic. Proper prep will ensure that the ingredients cook evenly and flavors meld beautifully.

    Combine in the Crockpot: In your crockpot, add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

      Add the Liquids: Next, pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce (or tamari) to create a flavorful base. Sprinkle the dried thyme and smoked paprika across the top to add aromatic depth to the dish.

        Cook Until Tender: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The mushrooms should become tender, and the onions will turn translucent, ensuring maximum flavor.

          Incorporate Creaminess: About 30 minutes before you plan to serve, stir in the coconut cream, Dijon mustard, and nutritional yeast. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to your personal preference for flavor enhancement.

            Cook the Pasta: While the stroganoff simmers, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your chosen pasta according to the package directions. Once al dente, drain and set aside to keep warm.

              Blend for Extra Creaminess (Optional): For an exceptionally silky texture, consider blending a portion of the stroganoff sauce before combining it with the pasta. This step is optional but will result in a delightful, luxurious sauce.

                Combine and Heat: Add the cooked pasta to the crockpot. Gently stir to combine all ingredients, allowing them to meld together for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until everything is heated through.

                  Serve and Garnish: Carefully spoon the creamy mushroom stroganoff into individual bowls and finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot and savor every bite!

                      Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, serve the stroganoff in shallow bowls with a drizzle of extra coconut cream on top and a few reserved parsley leaves. This will make the dish visually appealing while highlighting its creamy texture.
