Egyptian Pasta Stroganoff

Submitted by Engrossed

"I found Egyptian pasta at a health food store and didn't know what to do with it. I found a recipe for Egyptian rice and added sour cream and garlic and what do you know? Stroganoff! Tastes good. It would probably work with any type of rice or risotto."

We liked this dish. I used very lean turkey and nonfat sour cream, which we are used to, and like a lot. I also used fresh mushrooms, about double, but I would have liked even more. Adding cayenne pepper and more spices would probably be a good idea too.

Definately agree with previous reviewer reduce consomme to 3 cups (though if using rice 4 cups may be required as I think it would absorb it better than pasta - I used bow tie). I also used fresh mushrooms which would have also added to the liquid content but it was certainly tasty and very easy to make - a great midweek meal. Served with a tossed salad on the side. Made for the 123 Hit Wonders 2007 tag game. Thank you Engrossed.

Very, very flavorful, and very quick and easy to make. I used egg noodles. I think I would reduce the amount of consomme to 3 cups, because the sauce was a bit watery (even with full-fat sour cream mixed in). Thanx for posting this. I will make this again (with less consomme).

This was pretty good. I used elbows and it was really easy. The sauce was not as creamy as I'd have liked it, but it was a great alternative to Hamburger Helper and just as easy.

Made this last night with ground lamb and cous-cous. It was delicious. Very easy to make and I can think of dozens of ways to vary the basic recipe (add raisins or nuts, add Middle Eastern spices, etc).
