Ingredients
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms wiped clean and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream plain, made with milk, cream, and cultures; brought toward room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • colander
  • 12-inch skillet
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the wide egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cremini mushrooms in two batches if needed. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until released water evaporates and the mushrooms brown. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and yellow onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and sweet paprika for 30 seconds. Sprinkle over the all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute, until no dry flour remains.
  5. Gradually whisk in the low-sodium vegetable broth. Return the mushrooms to the skillet with the fine salt and black pepper. Simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until the sauce lightly coats a spoon.
  6. Turn off the heat. Whisk a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce into the full-fat sour cream in a bowl, then gently stir the mixture into the skillet. Add the fresh lemon juice. Do not return to a hard boil.
  7. Toss in the drained wide egg noodles, adding reserved cooking water a tablespoon at a time if the sauce is too thick. Scatter with the fresh parsley and serve promptly.

Notes

The noodles cook while the sauce is prepared; allow 25 minutes total cooking time. Use plain cultured sour cream and vegetable broth. Refrigerate within 2 hours for 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently, stirring, until leftovers reach 165°F; avoid prolonged boiling. Freezing can make the sauce grainy. Nutrition values are estimates.
