Easy Pasta Recipes With Sour Cream

Sour cream pasta: a creamy dreamy warm pasta dish drenched in sauce and topped with chives! Really easy to make and a treat for both kids and adults! Ready to serve in 20 minutes.

So this sour cream pasta may not be much of a looker, I admit, but it’s the most delicious and comforting dish you can whip out in a hurry. With a handful of familiar ingredients you might already have in your pantry and fridge, straightforward steps, and just 20 minutes of your time, it really doesn’t ask for much. And yet, it is such a hit!

If creamy pasta is what you dig, do try this chickpea pasta and this broccoli kale pasta. Both will bring a smile to your face. And if you can’t live without chicken, you’ve got to try this instant pot chicken stroganoff with egg noodles, a mostly hands off recipe.

One Pan Creamy Tuna Pasta

1. Cook the pasta – Cook the pasta as per package instructions. Drain and reserve some of the pasta water. Keep aside.

2. Make the roux – In a large pan, melt the butter on low heat and add the garlic. Sauté for a few seconds. Add the flour little by little, stirring as you go along so it doesn’t clump up.

3. Add the milk gently and allow the sauce to thicken – it will thicken in a matter of seconds, so keep stirring! If the sauce gets too thick after you have added the milk, use some of that reserved pasta water to get it back to the right consistency. If using the black pepper and red pepper flakes, add them in now. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down.

5. Add the pasta – add the cooked pasta and make sure it is well coated in the sauce. If you want to smoothen the sauce further, add some olive oil. Finally top with chopped chives and serve warm.

Do NOT add the sour cream to the sauce while it is hot! Sour cream separates when heated, so wait for the sauce to cool down before adding the sour cream.

It is very quick to make, you can use just about any ingredients you have on hand to flavor the sauce, and it is delicious!

This is one of my favorite types of pasta sauce, it is very quick and easy to make. It is just a matter of quickly cooking your pasta sauce ingredients in a frying pan or skillet, then adding the sour cream and a little pasta water until the right consistency is reached.

Once you have done it a few times you will be able to whip up any number of different flavored pasta sauces from the basic recipe.

Creamy Beef And Shells

It is the base of the sauce I make for my creamy bacon and mushroom pasta, as well as my creamy chicken and leek pasta.

I generally use lite sour cream, just to cut down on the calories a little. The flavor of the sauce comes from the other ingredients, so using lite rather than full-fat sour cream doesn’t affect the flavor much.

This is the fun bit! You can use (almost) any ingredients to flavor this sauce however you like. Choose flavors that traditionally go together, or get creative and try something new!

Sour Cream Chicken Paprika Recipe

Try ingredients like bacon, capsicum, spinach, chicken (breast or thighs), mushrooms, leeks, chives, tomatoes. You can also throw in some seasonings for extra flavor, try Cajun spice mix, chili flakes, paprika, pesto, or mustard.

I normally use dried pasta if I am making a sour cream pasta sauce, because you can cook the sauce while the pasta cooks. Fresh pasta is delicious, but you will have to cook it when the sauce is almost finished, so factor that into your timings if this is your preferred type of pasta.

When you cook the pasta a lot of the starch ends up in the pasta water. This is ideal for adding a silky texture to your pasta sauce. The starch helps the sauce to coat the pasta instead of sliding straight off. Add it at the end of the cooking until you get the texture just right.

While the pasta is cooking, saute the sauce ingredients in a large frying pan or skillet. Make sure your ingredients are cut into bite-sized chunks so that they will cook quickly.

When the pasta has finished cooking, drain it, but make sure you reserve some of the pasta water. You will probably need around ½ cup per 4 people, depending on how dry the sauteed ingredients are.

Drizzle the cooked pasta with oil. This will stop it from sticking together and help it mix into the sauce more easily.

Add the sour cream to the pan with the sauce ingredients and stir to mix it in. Then add the cooked pasta to the pan and gently toss to combine.
