Sausage and Mushroom Stroganoff

Time for the March Improv Cooking Challenge! 

The theme for this month is sausage and mushrooms. I was really excited about these two ingredients because they pair so wonderfully together.  At first I tried to think of a unique twist on a stuffed mushroom, but I kept going back to pasta. I really like Stroganoff and, for some reason, we do not make it at our house often. I thought the the sausage ad mushroom twist would be delicious in this traditional pasta dish. I kept close to a traditional stroganoff flavor profile, but added a little garlic alongside the sausage.  Ron and I really enjoyed this meal, and it made wonderful leftovers.  Kellen liked the noodles, but wasn't into trying the sauce- his loss. 

I love playing with a recipe like this because the possibilities are endless. Ron and I were thinking of chorizo or andoullie for a spicy style Stroganoff!
