Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak 1/2 cup cashews in water overnight. Drain and rinse. In a blender, combine soaked cashews, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup reserved broth. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 1 finely diced shallot. Cook for 8-10 minutes until mushrooms are golden and release liquid, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour to thicken the liquid, then pour in 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in 1 tsp dried dill.
  4. Step 4: Add 8 oz cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss with the mushroom sauce. Pour in the cashew cream mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and sauce coats noodles evenly.
