Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegan butter (or olive oil)
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 20 oz (about 5-6 cups) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (use a 1:1 gluten-free blend for a gluten free dairy free meal)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, use extra vegetable broth for an alcohol-free version)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup vegan sour cream (look for coconut milk or cashew-based options for coconut milk dairy free creaminess)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• 8 oz pasta of choice (gluten-free pasta works wonderfully for vegetarian gluten and dairy free recipes), cooked according to package directions

Directions

1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan butter (or oil) and let it melt. Toss in the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it's soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook them down for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and become tender and beautifully browned. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary for better browning.
3. Add the Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend) over the mushrooms and onions. Stir well to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are coated. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste. This step is crucial for thickening your sauce!
4. Pour in Liquids: Slowly pour in the white wine (if using) and vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to visibly thicken.
5. Add Creaminess: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the vegan sour cream until it's fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Toss the creamy mushroom sauce with your freshly cooked pasta of choice. Alternatively, for a different twist, serve it over fluffy mashed potatoes, rice, or quinoa for a complete plant based meal. Enjoy immediately!
