Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz old fashioned egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For sautéing
  • 8 oz baby Bella mushrooms Sliced
  • 1 medium onion Diced
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne Optional for heat
  • 2 tbsp butter For creaminess
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour For thickening
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth Base of the sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream For creaminess and tang
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a large pot of well-salted water until al dente, then drain well.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking for about 8–10 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally until most moisture has evaporated.
  4. Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using), cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the butter and let it melt, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables, stirring continuously until mixed for about 1 minute.
  6. Slowly add the broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps, then add the Worcestershire sauce and bring to a low boil.
  7. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Turn off the heat, then stir in sour cream and gently fold in the cooked noodles until fully coated.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a dollop of sour cream, along with a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Pro tips: Sauté mushrooms until fully released moisture for intensified flavor. Consider a splash of white wine for added complexity. For a gluten-free option, substitute egg noodles with gluten-free pasta. Always garnish generously for added flavor and visual appeal.
