- 1 onion
- 200g portobello mushrooms
- 200g chestnut mushrooms
- 150g button mushrooms
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 200g soured cream
- ½-1 tbsp horseradish mustard
- A handful of dill
- 250g fresh egg tagliatelle
- 200ml boiling water
- 4 tbsp cold water
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Measuring jug
- Deep frying pan or wok
- Large pan with lid
- 1.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Rinse the mushrooms and tear them into small pieces, or leave them whole if they are little (like the button mushrooms).
- 2.
Fill and boil your kettle. Crumble the stock cube into a heatproof jug and add 1/2-1 tbsp horseradish mustard (it's spicy, so use as much or as little as you prefer. You can add more later) and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Pour in 200ml hot water from the kettle and stir to dissolve the stock cube.
- 3.
Warm a deep frying pan or wok on a high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pan with 4 tbsp cold water. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and pop on a lid (or use a baking tray if you don't have a lid). Fry on a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins till the veg have softened and are lightly browned.
- 4.
While the veg fry, fill a pan with hot water from the kettle. Top up with more water, if necessary and add a generous pinch of salt. Set on a high heat and bring back to the boil. When the water is boiling, add the tagliatelle and simmer for 8 mins till the pasta is tender.
- 5.
Pour in the stock, pop the lid back on and simmer for 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally, till the stock has reduced a little and the veg are tender. Roughly chop the dill leaves and stalks.
- 6.
Turn the heat down very low and stir in the soured cream and half of the dill. Warm the stroganoff through for 1-2 mins, then take the pan off the heat, taste and add a pinch more salt or pepper or horseradish mustard if you think it needs it.
- 7.
Drain the tagliatelle and divide between 2 warm plates or bowls. Spoon over the mushroom stroganoff and garnish with the last of the dill to serve.
