This super-easy recipe for Meatball Alfredo Pasta has been one of our family’s favorite go-to meals on busy nights for years. I love using different types of pasta (break away from the typical Fettucini Alfredo!) and if you’ve never tried them before, meatballs in Alfredo sauce are delicious! I think I may like Alfredo-meatballs better than spaghetti-sauce-meatballs.
Try it and see if you agree!
- 16 ounce pasta of your choice (I used penne)
- 1 bag frozen meatballs (add as many or as few as suit your fancy)
- Alfredo sauce:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup whipping cream or milk
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
- Heat meatballs (microwave, stovetop, etc).
- Heat butter and cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. When butter is melted, add cheese, salt, pepper and parsley.
I added a quick, no-prep spinach salad to the side (fresh spinach, sliced strawberries, feta cheese and a poppy seed dressing). It’s so good!
