Succulent Pork Stroganoff With Tagliatelle

This dish is so delicious and comforting. You can find so many variations of it online and in cookbooks but this is my method. It's really easy to change the protein source too if you desire, this particular version also works wonderfully with chicken or a chicken substitute. If you're vegetarian you can also swap the chicken stock for a vegetable one instead.

Ingredient

300 g

thin pork loin steaks, sliced into thin strips,

350 ml

water boiled with 1/2 a chicken stock cube mixed in,

150 g

dried tagliatelle nests,

100 g

closed cap mushrooms, sliced,

1/2

a red onion, sliced,

2 tbsp

fat free quark,

1 tbsp

Dijon mustard,

1/2 tbsp

tomato pureé paste,

1 tsp

smoked paprika,

1 tsp

garlic granules,

1 tsp

dried parsley,

1/2 tsp

dried thyme,

2 tbsp

finely chopped fresh parsley as garnish (optional),

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat a large frying pan or saucepan up over a medium to high heat and spray the base with a layer of Frylight. Once warm add the onions and fry for around 3-4 minutes. Add in the sliced pork loins and season with salt and pepper. Fry until the pork starts to brown on the edges.

* Step 2

Add in the tomato paste, garlic granules and paprika then stir the pork so it's coated well. Turn down the heat to medium.

* Step 3

Add in the mushrooms and fry for a couple of minutes then add the water with chicken stock, the mustard and all of the dried herbs. Bring to a simmer.

* Step 4

As the pork mixture simmers, bring a kettle of water to a boil and add to the saucepan you're cooking the pasta in. Add a good pinch of salt then the tagliatelle nests. Begin to cook according to the packet instructions, (they should take around 9-10 minutes).

* Step 5

Turn the heat down low on the pork and allow to simmer very gently whilst the pasta cooks, around three minutes before the pasta is ready, remove from the heat to cool a little.

* Step 6

Drain off the cooked pasta and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Add in the quark one tablespoon at a time to the Stroganoff and gently stir it through until it's well combined and creates a lovely creamy sauce.
