Equipment

Ingredients

340 g egg noodles
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion or 2 shallots, diced Go with shallots for a richer flavour if you have some on hand
2 cloves garlic minced
1 lb chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup red wine
2 carrots finely chopped
2 stalks celery finely chopped
1 lb extra-lean ground beef
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 small red pepper, diced
2 tbsp flour
2 cups beef broth
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups chopped baby spinach

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add package of egg noodles and boil for 4-5 minutes, then drain and set aside. Noodles should be al dente.
Heat olive oil over med-high heat in a large pot. Add onions (or shallots) and garlic, sautéing for 1 min until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots and celery, cooking for 3-4 min until mushrooms start to release liquid and veggies are tender.
Add ground beef and cook until browned (about 5 minutes), then add red wine, salt & pepper and flour, tossing to combine.
Add beef stock and cooked noodles, bringing to a boil and cooking for 1-2 minutes until mixture starts to thicken. Stir in sour cream, red pepper and spinach, then remove from heat. Serve and enjoy! Leftovers will last in the fridge up to 5 days - I recommend sprinkling some water overtop before reheating.

Notes

Add the red peppers near the end so they don't get mushy.

Make it lighter by adding Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

Use red or white wine or leave out completely. You can add a little extra broth.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freeze without the sour cream for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, reheat on the stovetop, and stir in the sour cream just before serving.

If reheating from frozen in foil containers, bake in 375F oven for 40-45 min. If using glass bowls, reheat in microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through.
