Mushroom Stroganoff

Friends, today I'm sharing with you my twist on a classic Beef Stroganoff. Since I'm little bit of a mushroom fanatic, I tweaked the original recipe and replaced beef with mushrooms.

I've also threw in several unexpected ingredient that intensified the taste of mushrooms even more.

Let's face it, mushrooms can taste bland.

I get it why so many people don't like them, especially if talking about simple and most commonly found mushrooms like Portobello or White Button Mushrooms.

And if you don't properly season them, your final dish may lack some serious flavor.

Spoiler alert...this situation is not going to happen with this recipe.

My creamy mushroom pasta is full of flavor. A little bit smokey, a little bit tangy and surprisingly easy to prepare.

Where Does Mushroom Stroganoff Originate From

Mushroom Stroganoff is the adaptation of a famous and well known recipe of Beef Stroganoff created by French chef Andre Dupont in 1871.

The dish is named after Russia's Minister of the Interior Duke Aleksander Stroganov.

The main players in this recipe are meat (in our case it's mushrooms) and sour cream sauce. And although original recipe doesn't include pasta, in my opinion it begs to be served over it.

For my easy Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe I used Portobello Mushrooms which are the easiest to find these days.

However, you can also make this pasta with Shiitake, Maitake or Oyster mushrooms which will bring even more aroma to the final dish.

In this recipe, I also used chicken broth but you're more than welcome to go with vegetable broth.

If you scroll down to the recipe, you'll notice that instead of a more tradition sour cream I usedCrème fraîche, which I frankly speaking is obsessed with.

I love cooking with it and it's one of the most important ingredients in my Mustard Chicken and Eggplant Gratin.

If you can't find Crème fraîche in your local grocery store, no problem.

And there's one little trick that I use quite often and you can use it too.

Simply mix sour cream and heavy cream in equal amounts and you'll get a decent substitute ofCrème fraîche. Easy-peasy!

Can you reheat it?

This Easy Mushroom Stroganoff is best when consumed right away.

Reheating dishes containing mushrooms is not recommended.

Ingredients

Click on the highlighted text to purchase the ingredients

  • 8 oz uncooked pasta (spaghetti or any other type)
  • 12 oz Portobello mushrooms* (see the notes) thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 small onion finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 c broth chicken or vegetable
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 tablespoon Creme Fraiche* (see the notes)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoon parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta al dente or until cooked.

  • While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a medium skillet and over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes.

  • Add mushrooms and cook until all water evaporates and mushrooms are slightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.

  • Meanwhile, in a tall cup, combine flour, mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Add broth and whisk until no lumps remain.

  • Pour the mixture into the mushrooms and cook until thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in Creme Fraiche.

  • Transfer cooked pasta to the mushroom sauce, stir to combine the ingredients and if necessary, add some pasta water to thin out the sauce.

  • Serve immediately with a sprinkling of parsley. And I recommend pairing this recipe with quick Baked Zucchini And Mozzarella.

Notes

Mushrooms

In my recipe I used Portobello mushrooms, however this dish would also taste great with White, Shiitake or Maitake mushrooms.

Creme Fraiche

You can substitute it by mixing equal amounts of sour cream and heavy cream.

    Loved it! I don't like canned broths, usually too salty. I substituted half a cup of white wine. The sauce is thick just as I like it and oh so tasty and satisfying.

    I make mushroom stroganoff routinely. I liked the mustard addition. Gives it a little zip. My tips when I make it: For a little less calories, I use half and half with the sour cream works great. For stroganoff’s I boil my pasta in beef broth or salted water with beef bouillon al dente. It adds a lot of flavor. Depending on what I’m serving, chicken or beef I use either chicken or beef broth or stock. Super yummy. Thanks for sharing.
