Ingredients
meatballs
- 2 pounds ground beef
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, diced
- 2 large eggs, lightly whisked
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
pasta
- 16 ounces short pasta noodles such as penne, ziti, cavatappi or cellentani noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ white or yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups milk I used half and half
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- Freshly chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients for the meatballs and mix well. Shape into balls about 1.5 inches wide (a cookie scoop works great, I typically use to scoops with a regular sized cookie scoop for each meatball).
- To cook the meatballs, you can brown them oven medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until cooked through OR skip the browning and arrange them on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish in a single layer (not touching) and put them straight into the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
- While meatballs are cooking, place noodles in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until just fork-tender (follow package directions), drain, and set aside.
- In the same pot you cooked the noodles (or a large skillet at least 2 inches deep) melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute longer until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over melted butter and stir until it comes together in a thick paste.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, followed by the milk.
- Stir in worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Stir in noodles to coat in the sauce, then add the cooked meatballs. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- The meatballs: I personally like to brown them in the skillet first, then transfer to the oven, but putting them straight into the oven works great too!
