Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup vegan white wine (optional)
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup vegan sour cream
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Cooked pasta of your choice (egg-free)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour in the vegan white wine, if using, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Whisk in the vegan sour cream and nutritional yeast until smooth and creamy.
6. Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately over cooked pasta.

Tips:

• Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms for a unique flavor profile.
• For a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir it into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Add a splash of lemon juice for a touch of acidity.
• Garnish with fresh herbs, like dill or chives, for extra flavor and presentation.

Enjoy!
