Description

This one-pan comfort classic combines juicy meatballs and tender egg noodles in a rich, creamy gravy-style sauce—an easy, hearty, and soul-warming dish that brings all the flavors of Swedish meatballs with a pasta twist.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb frozen or homemade meatballs (beef or turkey)
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Sprinkle in flour, whisk and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth, followed by heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add meatballs and cooked noodles to the skillet. Stir to coat evenly with sauce. Cook until meatballs are heated through, about 8–10 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute sour cream for heavy cream for a tangier sauce.
  • Use turkey meatballs for a lighter version.
  • Make it ahead and reheat gently for easy meal prep.
