Stir-fry Beef Pappardelle (30-Minute Meal)

Happy Friday, fellow foodies! After a long, demanding week, I always crave something comforting—but quick. If you’re feeling the same way, this is the perfect moment to treat yourself to a cozy meal and a glass of something good. I’m excited to share one of my favorite Friday night dinners: my super-simple Stir-fry Beef Pappardelle. It’s done in about 30 minutes, and it’s that magical blend of Asian flavor and Italian texture that somehow just works.

Yes, I know—Asian-style stir-fry and Italian pasta sound like an odd couple. But once you try this meaty, savory combo with wide, velvety ribbons of pappardelle soaking up that umami-packed sauce, you’ll understand why I keep coming back to it. Bonus: it pairs beautifully with a glass of Pinot Noir or a smooth red blend.

And if you want to make this even faster (and more flavorful), use fresh pasta. It cuts the cooking time down and gives the dish that extra something.
