Preparing the Noodles

1. Cook Fettuccine: Follow the package instructions to cook the fettuccine noodles. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Sautéing the Vegetables

2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add Onion: Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their water and are browned.

Building the Sauce

5. 5. Add Spices and Flour: Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, and flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and onions with the spices and flour.
   6. Pour in Vegetable Broth: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
   7. Add Soy Creamer: Add the soy creamer to the pan and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to thicken.

10. Garnish: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
