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 used Crème 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 of Crème fraîche. Easy-peasy!
Can you reheat it?
This Easy Mushroom Stroganoff is best when consumed right away.
Reheating dishes containing mushrooms is not recommended.
I like how this creamy mushroom pasta comes together in less then 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for lunch as well as quick dinner for the whole family.
Are you feeling the creaminess yet?
This recipe is so good and comforting! True winter meal that leaves you full and satisfied.

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.
