Can I use canned pumpkin for pumpkin and mushroom stroganoff?

Yes, high-quality canned pumpkin puree works perfectly for this recipe and creates a very smooth sauce. Just ensure you are using 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.

What is the best type of mushroom for this recipe?

Cremini (Baby Bella) mushrooms are excellent for their texture, but adding Shiitake or Oyster mushrooms can provide a more complex, earthy flavor profile that complements the pumpkin beautifully.

How do I prevent the sour cream from curdling?

To prevent curdling, always remove the skillet from the heat source before stirring in your sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also 'temper' the dairy by mixing it with a tablespoon of the hot sauce in a small bowl before adding it to the main pan.

Is pumpkin and mushroom stroganoff freezer-friendly?

The sauce itself freezes well, but dairy-based sauces can sometimes change texture upon thawing. It is best to freeze the sauce before adding the sour cream, then add the dairy when reheating. We recommend eating it fresh for the best texture.

1 lb Mixed mushrooms (Cremini and Shiitake), sliced
1 cup Pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
1 Large yellow onion, finely diced
3 Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Vegetable broth

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Smoked paprika

Step 1: Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add the diced onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in the smoked paprika, thyme, pumpkin puree, and vegetable broth. Whisk until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat each strand with the pumpkin and mushroom stroganoff sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a tangier flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt. If the sauce is too thick, add an extra splash of vegetable broth.
