I needed to make a pasta sauce and had some sour cream to use up, and this fit the bill perfectly! The flavor is strongly Hungarian from all the paprika; I used mushroooms, onions, garlic, and broccoli for my veggies and more sour cream (3/4 cup) than the recipe called for. I served it over gnocchi, and at first it took a minute for the idea of eastern European gnocchi to register, but then we thought it was great! Definitely a quick and easy recipe with a lot of flavor and a subtle heat (I think the white pepper really helped). Thanks for sharing!
