Meat free, hearty comfort food

Comfort food sounded like a good option this week. So I made one of my favorites. All the flavors of a slow cooked pot roast meal without the guilt.
This dish is a delicious mix of vegetables and mushrooms in a rich gravy. I like to pair it with a gluten free pasta. In this case, I’ve done it with gluten free egg noodles but I’ve also done chickpea or lentil pastas. All work great.
