Step 1

First, let's prepare the mushrooms. They must be well washed, peeled and cut into pieces. Place the mushrooms in a container and set aside for now.

Step 2

Onions must be peeled, washed under running water and finely chopped. Now place the pan on the stove, pour in some olive oil and let the bowl warm up. The onions need to be fried a little, or rather, sauteed. When it becomes clear and soft, transfer it to a separate container.

Step 3

Take a large bowl and place the minced meat in it. Add sautéed onions, one chicken egg, finely chopped fresh herbs, mustard beans, and bread. Stir all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Advice! The bread should be soaked in milk in advance and then chopped into small crumbs. You can make minced meatballs to your liking. Add your favorite ingredients and spices to taste.

Step 4

Now you can start forming the meatballs. Soak your hands in cool water to prevent the minced meat from sticking, take some meat mass and roll it into a ball. Place the finished meatballs on a large dish at a distance from each other so that they do not stick together.

Step 5

Now take the pan again, pour in the olive oil and heat it up. Place the meatballs in a bowl and fry on both sides until golden brown. After that, transfer the meat balls to a plate and leave for a while.

Step 6

Place the chopped mushrooms in the same pan where the meatballs were just fried.

Step 7

Fry them until golden brown. Salt just a little.

Step 8

Now add the tomato paste and wheat flour. Stir all ingredients.

Step 9

Pour the vegetable broth over the mushrooms, which should be cooked in advance from your favorite vegetables. However, if there is no time, then you can use ordinary purified water. Be sure to try the salt gravy. While the mushrooms are cooking, you need to put water for the pasta. When the liquid boils, add salt and cook the spaghetti.

Step 10

Simmer the mushrooms in the sauce for 20 minutes, and then add the sour cream and a spoonful of mustard (in beans). At this point, the pasta has already been cooked, and it must be thrown into a colander.

Step 11

Now that all the ingredients are ready, you can start shaping the dish. Place the pasta in a large plate, top with the mushroom meatballs. Sprinkle the balls with finely chopped fresh herbs and sprinkle with poppy seeds for beauty.
