Simmer until the beef is tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn off heat.

Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Stir the sour cream into the meat mixture until thoroughly combined, and serve over the cooked noodles.
