This easy and delicious sausage dish is reminiscent of beef stroganoff, but it is packed with flavorful Italian sausage instead of beef. The sauce is extra savory thanks to a mix of dried and fresh mushrooms with just a touch of sour cream for tanginess. Use any small pasta that you like (egg noodles are traditionally served with stroganoff, but we like elbow macaroni just as well). This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
