Topped with roasted cauliflower.
This dish is my version of the Stroganoff – VEGAN Style.
Recently one of my fellow bloggers had posted an authentic Stroganoff recipe. I was quite intrigued and wondered how I had not come across it thus far. It was a wholesome dish which can be easily prepared VEGAN. I also brought in a crunchy cauliflower topping and eliminated the cheese.
The steps to assembling this dish is very easy. Since it can be prepared in a large batch it can be made in advance and used as a main dish to serve a large crowd.
Don’t miss out on the making video at the end of this post!
Lets get going – what we need –
Half-cooked pasta – use any type of thick cut noodles, egg noodles are the original choice so look for vegan options that look similar
Loads of mushrooms – caramelized
Red Onions – caramelized
Green peas (optional)
Cauliflower – oven-roasted and used on top as the crunchy topping
Vegan white sauce made with Almond milk – recipe link
Seasoning of choice – fresh parsley and basil (I did not have fresh herbs in stock and so used dried ones)
Start off with the part-cooked noodles in a large rectangular casserole dish. Add the onions, green peas, mushrooms and the seasoning. Add plenty of white sauce and mix thoroughly to coat the noodles. Finally top with the roasted cauliflowers and bake for a good 30-40 minutes until bubbly. The tops of the noodles will also crisp up and provide a mixture of textures.
I made a large batch and we were scrapping the bottom of the pan pretty quickly! This is going to be a new favorite in our house and an easy go-to recipe for sure.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 🥂🍾🎉🎊
