Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb beef meatballs (store bought frozen or homemade)
3 cups low sodium beef broth
¾ cup half and half or heavy cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
3 cups extra broad egg noodles (about 140 grams)
1-2 tablespoons corn starch (optional)

Instructions

In a large deep skillet, combine meatballs, broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, salt, thyme and pepper.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Add the egg noodles and stir to combine. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer just until al dente (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
To thicken sauce (if desired), stir together equal parts corn starch and water and stir into the skillet while cooking, stirring vigorously.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Meatballs: if you prefer to make meatballs from scratch, try my favorite. Homemade Meatball Recipe or these Turkey Meatballs for something lighter.
Broth: I always start with low sodium broth and add salt as needed. If you're using salted broth, I recommend omitting the added salt and adjusting as needed before serving.
Egg noodles: use dry, uncooked egg noodles for this recipe (not fresh or frozen). I don't recommend swapping for another pasta (although you can try!) as they all require different liquid amounts and cook times.
