Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Meatballs– Frozen beef meatballs. I often have homemade meatballs frozen but when I don’t I use my favorite store bought brand.
- Broth– Beef broth
- Milk– Whole is best
- Seasonings– Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper
- Noodles– Egg noodles
- Parmesan cheese– Shredded
- Garnish– Chopped fresh parsley
How to Make
Swedish meatball pasta is so easy to make!
Just cook the meatballs according to the package instructions.
While the meatballs cook, stir the broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper together in a Dutch oven.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil then stir in the noodles.
Once you’ve stirred in the noodles, reduce the heat so the mixture is just simmering.
Let it simmer for about 8 minutes or until the pasta’s cooked and the sauce has been absorbed until it just coats the noodles.
Stir it often.
Then, stir in the meatballs and Parmesan cheese until evenly combined and the cheese has melted.
Serve warm topped with fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat the leftovers in the microwave or on a pot on the stove, stirring in more broth or milk if needed.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t use skim milk. The sauce will be too thin.
- You can’t stir this dish too much! Make sure to stir often while the pasta cooks.
- Make sure you are using beef meatballs. While you could use chicken or turkey meatballs, they won’t give you that Swedish meatball taste.
