 Mushroom Stroganoff with Herbed Pasta

Make this elegant redo of beef stroganoff in no time at all. Serve with baby carrots or peas for a brilliant color contrast. Serves 4.

2 T. butter or good-quality margarine (Earth Balance works great)

1 large (preferably sweet) onion, finely diced

5 C. small whole mushrooms (or equivalent amount of large sliced mushrooms)

2 T. unbleached white flour

¾ C. vegetable soup stock

3 T. light, regular or vegan sour cream

¼-1/2 teas. freshly-ground  black pepper, to taste

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, cover and reduce heat to low and steam for 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms and onions. Add stock and simmer, covered over low heat for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in the sour cream, salt and  pepper and serve immediately.
