This traditional dish has a little bit of an Italian twist as it is my Dad's version. You could make this with the traditional egg noodles, but linguini pasta is the way we do it! It was almost a weekly staple in my house growing up.
Ingredients:
1 small onion or 1/2 large, chopped
1.25 lbs ground beef
3 tablespoons flour
2 cans beef consomme
8oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 small can tomato paste
4 tbsp sour cream
1 lb linguini pasta
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Saute in a large saute pan or sauce pot the onion in a tbsp of olive oil for 5 minutes. Add ground beef and brown. Once cooked add flour to meat mixture. Add beef consomme, vinegar, mushrooms and tomato paste. Simmer all together for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook linguini to al dente and drain.
Just before serving add sour cream to sauce and stir to combine. Toss 1/4 of the sauce with the pasta and reserve the rest on the side for serving.
*For a twist you can substitute ground turkey for beef.

*WW Friendly if you substitute for ground turkey breast and use non fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream - 2 Freestyle points for sauce only.
