Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff
Butter, mushrooms, shallots, garlic and thyme make for the perfect creamy, rich mushroom stroganoff! Made in just 30 min. EASY!
Would you judge me if I told you I had this for 2 straight weeks?
It was not out of choice. See, I had to recipe test this a dozen times. Which means I had mushroom stroganoff everywhere in the fridge. I just couldn’t let it go to waste!
So yes, I consumed all the creamy shells just to make sure you guys had the most perfected stroganoff possible.
But seriously, this stroganoff is amazingly creamy, it’s perfectly rich and it’s dream-worthy buttery. And most importantly, it is loaded with so many mushrooms.
I mean, this is essentially a mushroom cream sauce, which is just bomb.com on its own. You can give me shoe leather with this sauce on top and I’ll devour it no problem.
But no, the pasta shells will be just fine here, right?

Hi! This looks amazing! Quick question – if I want to make this vegetarian, could i sub in vegetable stock for the beef stock, or will that alter the taste too much? Thanks so much!
It will alter the taste slightly, but you can definitely switch it out.
I have learned that when you post a shells recipe (most underrated pasta shape since farfalle) to make it immediately. Yep, total winner and pretty customizable too.. well done!
That’s too funny but oh so true!
