Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. Blend the soaked cashews with 1/2 cup water until completely smooth to make the cashew cream; set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the mushrooms in batches without crowding, cooking 5-6 minutes per batch until deeply browned; set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  7. Stir in the vegetable broth, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened, then return the mushrooms to the pan.
  8. Stir in the cashew cream and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
  9. Toss the sauce with the cooked noodles or serve spooned over them, garnished with fresh parsley.
