To buy
- 4 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup sour cream
From your shelf
- 1 package Swedish meatballs with egg noodles
Staples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it well. Empty the meatballs and noodles into the pot, breaking up the meatballs gently with a spoon, and stir to separate the noodles. Simmer until the noodles are tender, about 8 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- While the noodles cook, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 ounces spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Return the drained meatballs and noodles to the skillet with the spinach. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream to add richness to the sauce, then warm through over low heat for 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Note Swap the spinach for egg noodles prepared separately if you prefer a lighter sauce. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three days; reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. Serve with pickled vegetables or a simple green salad on the side.
