Some people like whole or sliced mushrooms, but I prefer them chopped. Sauté the mushrooms on medium/high in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they are tender and set aside (about 3 minutes). I used the plate I was going to eat later. I was determined to uphold my plans of non-messiness.

Sauté your chopped onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil until they are soft and translucent. Now add the garlic and sauté until the garlic smells incredible (about 30 seconds). This is always my favourite part; garlic has such a fragrant smell that makes my mouth water!

Reduce heat to medium, and add the beef and mushrooms. Mix well while the meat is browning.

Once you've browned the beef, drain off the excess oil, add smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, finely chopped parsley, and 3 cups of beef broth. Mix and allow to simmer for about 1 minute.

Now it's time for the noodles. Add the noodles and bring them to a boil. Cover and stir often until all the broth has been absorbed (about 15 minutes).
