Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a large pot of well-salted water until al dente. Drain well in a large colander and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot until hot. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and most of the moisture has cooked off.
Add the minced garlic. Then stir in the thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne (if using). Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the butter and let it melt, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables. Stir continuously to combine the butter and flour, coating the vegetables, and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat.Once the sauce reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3–4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Turn off the heat but leave the pot on the warm burner. Stir in the sour cream, then gently fold in the cooked noodles until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Enjoy!
