  • Impressive Presentation: The poached egg makes it look gourmet.
  • Customizable: Easily adjust ingredients based on what you have.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

How to Make Creamy Beef Stroganoff Pasta

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Mix until the sauce is creamy and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into small bowls and carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  7. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the creamy beef sauce until well coated.
  8. To serve, plate the pasta and top each serving with a poached egg. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a high-quality beef broth for a richer flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the poached eggs; aim for soft yolks for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add mushrooms or spinach to the beef mixture for added nutrition and flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for additional depth of flavor.
  • Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette.
  • Garlic bread for a satisfying sidekick.
  • Roasted vegetables to balance the richness of the pasta.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed.
