Mushroom Stroganoff

A quick and easy meal, perfect for Meatless Mondays! A combination of Shiitake, Baby Portabella and Cremini mushrooms with noodles in a light creamy sauce.

I played around with Mushroom Stroganoff a few times last week (until we were sick of it) for a Meatless Monday option. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Beef Stroganoff, so for me it was a challenge to get the flavor of the beef without using any meat as well as keeping it creamy yet light. The bonus of making it without the beef is that you can eat more for less calories and fat.

Using a variety of mushrooms gave nice textures and flavor and the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste helped give me some of that beef flavor I was looking for. I love Ronzoni Smart Taste noodles, I think they have the best taste but No-yolk and Healthy Harvest are also good options.

As a kid, I always topped my Stroganoff with grated Parmesan cheese. This is completely optional, but I personally think it makes any noodle dish go from good to great. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium vegetable broth (or beef if you’re a carnivore)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp tomato paste
5 oz sliced Cremini mushrooms
8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms
3.5 oz Shiitake mushrooms

8 oz uncooked noodles (Ronzoni Smart Taste, Healthy Harvest or No-Yolk)
1 tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish

Directions:

Cook noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions, I like to under-cook them a bit so I can mix it with the sauce and let it finish cooking.

Meanwhile, while the water starts to boil for the noodles, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter over medium heat and add onions to the pan. Cook 2 – 3 minutes over medium-low heat.

Add flour; stir with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds. Gradually add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper; stir and cook 4-5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.

Add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 30 seconds. Stir in sour cream; add noodles, mix well and garnish with parsley if desired.

First prepare the dough: put the flours and salt in a bowl and mix.

Dissolve yeast and sugar in barely warm water, then add it to the flours and start kneading.

Add the lard in a couple of batches, adding the next one only after the previous one has been completely incorporated.
Cover the bowl with cling film and let rise for at least 2 hours or until doubled.

In the meantime, cut the butter into pieces, place it between two sheets of baking paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until you obtain a thin rectangular sheet, then put it back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Take the dough and roll it out into a rectangular sheet, place the sheet of butter in the center and fold the edges of the dough over the butter.
Roll out with a rolling pin and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Take the dough again and repeat 3 more times: fold the edges from the short side towards the centre, roll out with a rolling pin and put in the fridge for 30 minutes, then again and again.

Prepare the filling by cutting the cheese into cubes and the ham into small pieces.

Take the dough, roll it out on a sheet of baking paper in a layer maximum 1 cm high and cut it into 12 squares.

Add a little filling to the center of the squares and close them into a triangle by bringing one of the corners over the opposite one, then seal the edges well.

Transfer the parcels onto the baking tray, using their baking paper, brush with the lightly beaten egg and cook for around 15-20 minutes at 180°C in a pre-heated ventilated oven.

The Catania pâtés are ready, at least let them cool before serving.

Aromas and flavors linked to childhood, to Sunday lunches with the family reunited in full force, to local recipes handed down from generation to generation. We are in Umbria, but almost on the border with northern Lazio: here the third generation of Cotarella family, a company rooted in the wine sector, composed of Dominga and her cousins Enrica and Marta, continues to treasure the peasant cookbook of grandmother Grace.
«The home dishes that have always accompanied us are baked pasta, roast chicken with potatoes, fried potato donuts and our grandmother's pate, says Enrica. "A great classic of snacks was bread with rubbed tomato and, in summer, panzanella: wet bread seasoned with vegetables from the garden, local oil, salt and vinegar".
The chicken continues to be the free-range one, with very tender meat and crunchy skin, the eggs are those of the day, the smells just picked.
«In the lunch on holidays or birthdays there was never a lack of local ham, rigorously cut by hand with a sharp knife and trifle. All the recipes are offered today to Italian and foreign tourists who visit the Cotarella family headquarters in Montecchio with its cellars and choose to stop and eat. A moment of conviviality that goes beyond simple wine tasting , explains Enrica.
