Stroganoff pasta bake with leftover roast beef

A pasta bake is always welcome at our house and this Stroganoff pasta is the current fave! I came up with this recipe as a way to use leftover roast beef (from my Slow Cooker Beef recipe).

It ended up being so delicious that I am now making it with leftover chicken or minced beef (a sort of ground beef Stroganoff).

This easy pasta recipe is also slimming-friendly believe it or not! Take a look at the recipe video and step by step tutorial to see how its done!

Stroganoff Origins

Lovers of Stroganoff will know that this Russian dish takes its name from count Stroganoff who popularised the recipe by serving it at his banquets.

There’s endless variations with beef, chicken or just mushrooms all of them very, very tasty! This simple dish is made with onions, mushrooms, beef/chicken etc, beef stock, mustard and sour cream.

For my pasta bake variation I simply added cooked rigatoni, a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan and baked under the grill until golden.

You could also serve this dish without baking it in the oven but I think it adds a certain magic touch 🙂

Here’s what you will need

This is a slimming version which includes quark cheese and reduced fat sour cream. It is about 420 calories or 11 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving.

You can make this recipe with just sour cream if you prefer. It will be higher in calories but also more delicious, I cannot lie!

  • Dried pasta cooked until al dente. I used rigatoni (ziti) but other shapes can be used
  • Onions – and garlic if you like
  • Mushrooms – I used chestnut (crimini) mushrooms but button mushrooms are also fine.
  • Porcini powder – optional but it adds so much flavour so if you find some stir 1-2 teaspoons into the stock
  • Beef stock (try a rich beef stockpot from Knorr)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Dijon Mustard
  • A little cornflour (cornstarch) diluted in water
  • Leftover roast beef trimmed of fat or ground beef (see variation)
  • Grated parmesan
  • Flat leaf parsley

Stroganoff Pasta Bake Step By Step

Take a look at this step by step tutorial – please note you will find the full recipe, including ingredients in the recipe card at the end of this post.

STEP 1. Spray a large deep pan (I used my favourite Chef’s pan) with olive oil spray. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and cook over low heat, stirring often, until softened – about 10 minutes.

STEP 2. Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to simmer.

STEP 3. Stir in the mustard (I used Dijon you can also use wholegrain).

STEP 4. Add the cornflour slurry, stirring to combine.

STEP 5. Stir in the quark cheese and reduced fat sour cream for a slimming version (use just regular sour cream if preferred).

STEP 6. Add the roast beef (and you can add some of the gravy if you happen to have any) and stir to combine. Have a taste and add salt if needed.

STEP 7. Stir in the cooked pasta so that it is coated in the sauce. 

STEP 8. Preheat the grill (broiler)to medium-high. Transfer to a baking dish (or you can use the pan if it is oven safe). If it looking a little dry you can stir in some of the reserved pasta water or a little beef stock. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and add freshly ground pepper.

STEP 9. Cook under the grill for about 5 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve maybe with some steamed greens on the side.

Ground Beef Stroganoff Sauce

If you want to make this recipe using beef mince (ground beef) then follow the method below. Detailed instructions in the recipe card.

Spray the pan with olive oil spray and brown the beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon until nicely coloured. Transfer to a bowl and drain any liquid. Wipe the pan clean.

Follow the recipe as above adding the browned mince in with step 6. Check the seasoning – you will likely need to add more salt in this version. Bake as above or simply serve over pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan.

    Once this dish is cooked, can any leftovers be frozen?

      Hi Ann, I must admit I haven’t tried to do that and generally I don’t like to freeze pasta dishes. The leftovers will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.

    I’ve tried making Stroganoff a couple of times and just could never get the right taste but this one is a winner! We made the roast on Sunday and had so much meat left over (I’m glad I planned ahead for this on the Monday).

    Lovely and creamy (even with the quark/sour cream mix) and not too heavy.

    Also works well with chicken stock if you’re disorganised like me and realise last minute you used all of your beef stock cubes the day before for the roast.
