Swedish Meatball Pasta

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • ¾ pound ground beef
  • ¾ pound ground pork
  •  cup Panko
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups beef stock
  •  cup sour cream

Directions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Panko, egg yolks, green onions, parsley, allspice and nutmeg; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-to-1-1/4-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
  • Melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef stock and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in pasta and sour cream until heated through, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve immediately.
