### Savory Herb-Infused Mushroom Stroganoff

Looking for a comforting dish that’s rich in flavor and satisfying to the last bite? This Savory Herb-Infused Mushroom Stroganoff is here to rescue your dinner plans! Loaded with hearty mushrooms, earthy spices, and a creamy sauce that clings perfectly to tender pasta, this recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether you're feeding a crowd or simply indulging after a long day. Let’s get cooking!

#### Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (fettuccine or egg noodles work well)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 ounces mixed mushrooms (like cremini and shiitake), sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup dairy-free sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

#### Instructions:

1. **Cook the Pasta**:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

2. **Sauté and Sizzle**:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3. **Mushroom Magic**:
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.

4. **Flavor Fusion**:
Sprinkle in the dried thyme and oregano, mixing well to let the herbs infuse their flavor into the mushrooms. Pour in the vegetable broth, followed by the soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.

5. **Creamy Comfort**:
Lower the heat and add the dairy-free sour cream (or Greek yogurt) into the mushroom mixture. Stir until fully combined, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to achieve your desired creaminess. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. **Combine and Serve**:
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, making sure it’s evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes, letting the pasta absorb a bit of the sauce.

7. **Garnish and Enjoy**:
Serve your delightful mushroom stroganoff hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Dive into this savory dish that’s sure to become a favorite at your table. Bon appétit!
