Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Pasta (egg noodles, fusilli, or fettuccine)
• Mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
• Butter or olive oil
• Onion, finely chopped
• Garlic, minced
• Vegetable or mushroom broth
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Dijon mustard
• Paprika
• Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Directions

1. Cook the pasta:
   In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Sauté the mushrooms:
   In the same pot, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add aromatics:
   Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Build the sauce:
   Sprinkle in the paprika and stir to coat the mushrooms. Add the vegetable broth, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme (or parsley). Bring to a simmer.
5. Combine pasta and sauce:
   Return the cooked pasta to the pot and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and reserved pasta water until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
6. Garnish and serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (if using). Serve hot and enjoy!
