Mushroom stroganoff with pappardelle

Main Serves 2 35 min
Mushroom Stroganoff was, for years, the default veggie option on every gastro pub menu before being knocked from its perch by the ubiquitous risotto. Dare I say, it could now be considered as retro. It works just as well with rice as it does with pasta.

  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp tomato purée
