Instructions
Leftover Roast Beef Pasta Bake
- Spray a large deep pan (I used my favourite Chef’s pan) with olive oil spray. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and cook over low heat, stirring often, until softened - about 10 minutes.
- Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to simmer.
- Stir in the mustard (I used Dijon you can also use wholegrain).
- Add the cornflour slurry, stirring to combine.
- Stir in the quark cheese and reduced fat sour cream.
- Add the roast beef (and you can add some of the gravy if you happen to have any) and stir to combine. Have a taste and add salt if needed.
- Stir in the cooked pasta so that it is coated in the sauce.
- Preheat the grill (broiler)to medium-high. Transfer to a baking dish (or you can use the pan if it is oven safe). If it looking a little dry you can stir in some of the reserved pasta water or a little beef stock Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and add freshly ground pepper.
- Cook under the grill for about 5 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve maybe with some steamed greens on the side.
Ground Beef Stroganoff
- Spray the pan with olive oil spray and brown the beef, breaking it up with the back of a spoon until nicely coloured. Transfer to a bowl and drain any liquid. Wipe the pan clean.
- Spray the pan again. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and cook over low heat, stirring often, until softened - about 10 minutes.
- Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to simmer.
- Stir in the mustard and tomato paste.
- Add the cornflour slurry, stirring to combine.
- Stir in the quark cheese and reduced fat sour cream.
- Add the browned beef and stir to combine. Have a taste and add salt if needed.
- Stir in the cooked pasta so that it is coated in the sauce.

Notes
- Replace leftover roast beef with leftover roast or rotisserie chicken or leftover roast turkey.
- Replace the quark with more sour cream if preferred.
- Serve straight away after mixing with the pasta if you like.
