Mushroom Stroganoff

Mushroom. Stroganoff. If you've never heard of this delightful dish listen up: it's a savory and creamy mushroom gravy tossed with "egg-noodle" pasta and fresh herbs. This is a vegan update on the traditional beef stroganoff found in Russia...it is a wonderful change from my usual pasta in tomato sauce. Enjoy!

EVOO

3 tsp corn starch

2 C low sodium vegetable stock

1 bunch parsley (cleaned and rough chopped)

1 tsp salt

generous black pepper
