Swedish meatballs are typically enjoyed over egg noodles or rice. This classic meatball and cream sauce recipe makes enough sauce that it made sense to add pasta right in with the sauce and officially name it Swedish Meatball Pasta. Now, if you want to take this meal from really good to over-the-top amazingly delicious, then you’ll want to knock your own socks off and make some homemade pasta. You can easily use fresh pasta for this Swedish Meatball Pasta recipe much like you would a dried pasta you buy at the store. The fresh pasta will just take less time to cook.

How to make Swedish Meatball Pasta:

The best recipe for Swedish Meatballs is just a click away. I only made one modification and used equal parts ground pork and ground beef instead of just ground beef. I think the combination just makes a better meatball. Simply combine all of the meatball ingredients and form about 20 small meatballs. Fry them until brown and crispy and set aside. Next you’ll make the sauce. This is a rich and heavenly combination of beef broth and heavy cream that gets mixed into a roux. I went a little above and beyond, in addition to making this recipe with my homemade pasta, by using homemade beef broth. You can absolutely use beef broth from a can or a box though. No judgement! Finally, while the meatballs are simmering in the sauce, cook your pasta. There’s enough sauce to fully coat all of the pasta.

What to serve with Swedish Meatball pasta:

You have two options here: serve something alongside this recipe or incorporate more ingredients. This meal, on it’s own, is quite rich and decadent. I certainly feel that some vegetables are required to help balance things out. If you’re looking for an easy side dish, a simple green salad or steamed veggies would compliment this pasta recipe quite well. You can also toss in some vegetables to make it a complete one-bowl meal. I happened to have some leftover caramelized onions from a different recipe. I mixed those in along with a couple handfuls of fresh baby arugula. Talk about YUM! No matter what, this is a meal that your entire family will enjoy and it’s really simple to make. The meatballs and the sauce have so much flavor and who doesn’t love pasta?
