  • One-Pot Wonder: Minimal cleanup with maximum flavor.
  • Customizable: Easily adapt to your taste preferences.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Beef Stroganoff Pasta

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy beef sauce.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For added depth of flavor, let the beef and mushroom mixture simmer for a few extra minutes.
  • Use a mix of mushrooms for a more complex taste; shiitake or cremini add delicious umami.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sour cream; add it off the heat to prevent curdling.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add a splash of white wine for extra flavor before adding the broth.
  • Toss in some fresh spinach or peas for a pop of color and nutrition.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a vinaigrette for freshness.
  • Garlic bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • Steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans for a colorful side.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce if it thickens.
