This creamy, delicious, and easy one pan beef stroganoff is so simple and quick – a perfect weeknight meal when you don’t want to dirty a bunch of dishes but need a hearty dinner!
I am someone who is generally non-picky about food, but I can be super picky about condiments, cream cheese, sour cream, and a few small condiment/garnishes with food.
It sounds funny, I know, but I generally shy away from cream cheese based pastas because I don’t love the flavor of cream cheese (which most of my family sees akin to a different religion, but I digress…) but this recipe?
I LOVE IT.
It is so creamy, rich, hearty and delicious- and it comes together in a snap with a funny technique I use to toast the pasta.
It sounds funny to cook the pasta with the meat instead of just boiling it – but it works really well! It gives a slightly toasted and nutty flavor, and keeps your pasta from getting too mushy.
However, you really, really have to pay attention to make sure they dont stick to the bottom of the pan or burn!
You seriously can’t get a creamier, easier pasta dish than this on a busy weeknight – it’s the perfect creamy beef pasta!
This stroganoff is super simple, and takes additions really well. You can add peppers, garlic, or other vegetables- or make low fat substitutions. You could also make this with zucchini noodles for a low carb version – simply add them at the end of the recipe so they don’t overcook- or check out my spaghetti squash stroganoff recipe!
I hope you love this easy one pot pasta recipe as much as our family does!

I was leery about putting dry Noodles in the pot but it worked! I stirred, folded over a lot. For leftovers I will add a little more heavy cream and cream cheese so it won’t be dry.

That is what I do – leftovers can dry out, but with a little cream everything is better 🙂

Are the noodles pre cooked?
Courtney ODell
They aren’t – they are dry.
