Baked Beef and Zucchini Stroganoff

This pasta bake is creamy, cheesy and so delicious. A great way to turn the great flavours of beef stroganoff into a pasta casserole!

I love beef stroganoff. It is a dish my mother made when I was a kid and I always loved the creamy taste of this pasta dish. Similar to Italian meat sauce, but instead of a tomato based sauce, it is a creamy one with cream of mushroom soup, milk and sour cream.

I decided to try something different with my recipe for Ground Beef Stroganoff. We love lasagna, baked ziti or any other baked pasta so I wondered how a baked dish of stroganoff would turn out. I added some zucchini and spinach to the dish and covered the pasta with grated mozzarella. Once the pasta was done baking and the cheese was bubbly, I knew that this dish would be amazing and I was right. Baking the beef stroganoff worked very well and it is something that I will definitely do again!

    This dish was excellent! The only adjustment I made was adding shredded parmesan as the top layer (I love cheese!) and tomato chunks. Thanks for sharing.
