Follow these simple steps to create your Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
3. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
4. Season: Sprinkle the thyme, smoked paprika, soy sauce, salt, and pepper over the mushroom mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, coconut milk (or cashew cream), and flour (or cornstarch). Pour this mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating a delicious Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff that is sure to impress.
