Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff
Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff features tender pasta shells tossed in a rich sauce of cremini mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme. The sauce is thickened with flour, enriched with beef stock, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese, producing a velvety, savory coating. This is a comforting, meatless variation of stroganoff with earthy mushroom flavors balanced by creamy tang and fresh parsley.
