Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 oz Pasta
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Onion diced
- 2 tsp Garlic minced
- 6 oz Mushrooms sliced
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 cup Beef Stock
- 1 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted water following the package directions, drain it, and set it aside so it doesn’t get overcooked.
- Heat olive oil in a big skillet over medium, then add the onions and cook until they’re soft and just a bit golden.
- Add the garlic and stir for about a minute; just enough so it’s fragrant but not browned.
- Add the ground beef, break it up with a spoon, and cook until it’s browned all the way through.
- Drain off the extra fat.
- Stir in mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, and pepper.
- Let the mushrooms soften up for a few minutes.
- Pour in beef stock and sour cream, stir until the sauce looks smooth, then drop the heat low so it thickens gently.
- Add the cooked pasta right into the skillet and toss it so every piece gets coated in that sauce.
