Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.
  2. Rinse lentils and combine with 4 cups vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 20–25 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
  3. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Add cooked lentils to the pan with soy sauce, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and remaining broth. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in plant-based yogurt until smooth. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve the lentil-mushroom mixture over cooked fettuccine and garnish with chopped parsley.
