Ingredients

• 6 ounces bowtie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
• 1/2 white onion, finely diced
• 1 (1.5 ounce) packet beef Stroganoff sauce seasoning , such as McCormick®
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce , divided
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until just tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
2. Add the ground beef and onion to the same pot, lower the heat to medium, and cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, breaking up chunks with a spatula, about 7 minutes. Drain grease.
3. Stir sauce packet, water, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce together in a small bowl. Add sauce mixture to the pot. Stir until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add garlic powder, pepper, and mushroom soup to beef mixture and stir well; stir in sour cream. Remove from heat.
5. Taste; add remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce if needed. Fold in pasta and stir gently to combine. Garnish with parsley.
