  3. Add flour; stir with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds. Gradually add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper; stir and cook 4 – 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
  4. Add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat; let stand 30 seconds.
  6. Stir in sour cream; add noodles, mix well and garnish with parsley if desired.
