Mushroom Stroganoff
Makes 5 portions as a main
Ingredients:
* 2 x 200g packets of Quinoa Spaghetti or other spaghetti
* 450g portabello or white mushrooms, sliced
* 1 brown onion, finely chopped
* 1 cup vegetable broth (plus more if needed)
* 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as soy or almond)
* 1/4 cup rice flour (for gluten-free)
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
* Pinch pink salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 tablespoons braggs liquid seasoning
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
For garnish:
1 handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Method:
* Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions
* In a large bowl or jug whisk together the vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, rice flour, dried thyme, salt, and pepper and set aside (make sure that the broth is cool, otherwise the flour will be lumpy)
* Add the liquid seasoning to a large skillet or pot
* When hot add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent
* Reduce the heat to medium; add the mushrooms and a splash of water if needed. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms have softened and begin to release their juices
* Pour in the broth and non-dairy milk mixture and continue to cook, stirring as needed for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. If the sauce gets too thick, add more vegetable broth or water if needed to thin. If the sauce is too thin, simply cook a little longer until you reach desired consistency
* Add in the cooked pasta and toss well to combine. Divide among plates and serve, garnishing with parsley
NOTES:
For a bulkier meal, cook some brocolli florets with the spaghetti for the last 5 minutes of cooking or add some green beans to the sauce mixture
You can use whatever plant milk you prefer. Be careful not to let it boil as it will split. It will taste fine, but it won't look pretty
If you prefer, use rice instead of spaghetti
Penne, fusilli & tagliatelle pasta are equally as deliscious with the sauce
For a deeper mushroom flavour, use a mixture of portabello and button mushrooms
