This is another recipe I came up with for one of our Formula One meals.

Paprikash is a paprika based stew that originated in Hungary. The most traditional way of preparing the dish uses chicken and sometimes veal. In this recipe I replace the meat with mushrooms and it is simply delicious.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces of bow tie pasta
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 4 garlic cloves
• 16 ounces mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1½ tablespoons paprika
• salt and pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the pasta according to the box. Set aside until ready to use.
2. Finely chop the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. When the butter is melted, add in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables have softened; about 5 minutes.
5. Add the mushrooms and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for about 7 minutes, making sure to stir the mixture so the mushrooms cook evenly.
6. Add in the tomato paste, broth, paprika, salt, and pepper.
7. Bring to a steady simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Turn off the heat and add the sour cream.
9. Serve over pasta and top with fresh parsley and sour cream.
10. Enjoy!
