This made a tasty dinner, fresh parsley was a nice flavor, and it doesn't taste like our usual, but I think I'll stick with our usuals. (I did replace some beef broth with white wine to deglaze after cooking the onions and peppers -- yum!). Before the sour cream, I kept thinking I could cook off the liquid, throw in a can of crushed tomatoes with garlic, chop some mushrooms, and voilà spaghetti sauce! After the sour cream, it veered towards stroganoff. Next time, I'll probably pick stroganoff OR spaghetti and make that.

We enjoyed this. Made a few adjustments; increased the green pepper & decreased the gravy, broth & pasta by 2 oz. I used some leftover homemade gravy so I found the dish had good flavour. I also did half of the sour cream with yogurt & threw in 1/2 tsp bisto to thicken the sauce some more. Quick & easy recipe, thanks for sharing.

My wife and I loved this recipe, we 'kick it up a notch' with hot sauce and it is great on those cold winter nights. The kids won't eat it but they will not eat anything that isn't pizza or chicken nuggets. So we nuke some nuggets and we eat the goulash! Great recipe! I can't wait to try some of your others!
