Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 oz dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 lb mixed fresh mushrooms sliced or torn
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white grape juice or non-alcoholic white cooking wine
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Additional thyme leaves for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon white miso
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a heatproof measuring cup and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let them soak while preparing the remaining ingredients.
  • Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one-third of the fresh mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms, adding more oil as needed.
  • Pour about half of the mushroom soaking liquid into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Pour the liquid back into the measuring cup and reserve.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion with salt and pepper and cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
  • Lift the soaked porcini mushrooms from the liquid, chop them finely, and reserve the remaining soaking liquid.
  • Stir the garlic into the onions and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the non-alcoholic white cooking wine or white grape juice along with the thyme sprigs. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Stir in about 3/4 cup of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid and the white miso. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs. Stir in the sour cream and soy sauce until smooth.
  • Fold in the porcini mushrooms and cooked fresh mushrooms.
  • Add the cooked noodles and gently toss until evenly coated. This Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff is best served immediately with chopped parsley and fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

  • Use cremini, shiitake, oyster, and button mushrooms for the best flavor.
  • Fresh tagliatelle or fettuccine also works well.
  • Garnish with extra thyme, parsley, or freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a crisp green salad.
