Ingredients

• Whole grain fettuccine noodles: 8 oz.
• Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
• Onion: 1, diced
• Garlic cloves: 3, minced
• Mushrooms: 8 oz., sliced
• Paprika: 1 teaspoon
• Dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
• Flour: 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable broth: 1 cup
• Soy creamer: 1/2 cup
• Baby spinach: 2 cups
• Salt and pepper: to taste
• Fresh parsley: chopped, for garnish

Instructions
Preparing the Noodles

1. Cook Fettuccine: Follow the package instructions to cook the fettuccine noodles. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Sautéing the Vegetables

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add Onion: Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their water and are browned.

Building the Sauce

1. Add Spices and Flour: Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, and flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and onions with the spices and flour.
2. Pour in Vegetable Broth: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
3. Add Soy Creamer: Add the soy creamer to the pan and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to thicken.

Finishing the Dish

1. Add Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

1. Combine with Noodles: Serve the mushroom stroganoff over the cooked fettuccine noodles.
2. Garnish: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
