Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 4 links vegetarian sausage
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 14 oz diced tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for garnish)
• 2 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice the vegetarian sausages into rounds and sauté them in the skillet for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet with the remaining olive oil and sauté for 4–5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet Hungarian paprika and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release the spices' flavors.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (including their liquid) and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, and then season with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 8–10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Step 6

Return the browned vegetarian sausage slices to the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes to heat them through.

Step 7

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to evenly coat them in the sauce and combine with the sausage.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream (if desired) and chopped parsley.
