Ingredients
4 Schneiders® Naturally Hardwood Smoked Savoury Garlic & Honey Sausages
1 shallot, chopped
3 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
6 sprigs thyme, divided
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup brown ale or wheat beer
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp each salt and pepper, divided
340 g curly egg noodles
¼ cup butter
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions
In a large deep skillet, cook sausages according to package directions. Remove to cutting board; cut into slices, or serve whole.
In same pan, over medium-high heat, add shallot, mushrooms and 3 sprigs of the thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Gradually stir in broth, beer, vinegar, mustard and half each of the salt and pepper. Bring to simmer; reduce heat and cook stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package direction; drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid. In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook, swirling pan occasionally, until foam subsides and butter is amber in colour. Add remaining thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add noodles and reserved pasta water; toss to coat. Serve noodles with sausages and mushroom gravy, garnished with parsley.
Tips (not mandatory): You’ll want to use a mild, sweet, malty wheat beer or ale for this gravy, rather than a hoppy, bitter IPA or pilsner for the best flavour in the gravy.
