Ingredients

• 8 oz egg noodles (farfel or wide noodles broken into small pieces)
• 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or white button, sliced)
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 1 large egg (optional for binding, beaten)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

If using, quickly beat the optional egg and stir it into the cooked noodles for added richness.

Step 8

Toss the cooked egg noodles with the mushroom mixture in the skillet until evenly coated.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
