Ingredients

• 300 g Buckwheat noodles
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
• 400 g Mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the buckwheat noodles according to the package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside, tossing with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Add the cooked buckwheat noodles to the skillet, tossing well to coat them in the mushroom sauce.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
